Fuelling the pride in healthy businesses across Europe
Let's be honest, nobody starts a business for the joy of admin. You start for the joy of starting. You stay for the pride in keeping going: pride felt a thousand times over, in a thousand different forms, across an entrepreneurial lifetime.
The pride found in the simplest win to the greatest achievement. These moments of pride can be found everywhere - from the back of a café to the front of your own store, on your best days as much as your worst.
Yet, admin is the price of progress — the good sign that sometimes tastes like bad news. Luckily, removing admin friction is what we do best.
It was from their own experience of frustration with admin friction that our founders, Martin Hegelund and Rico Adlor-Andersen, set out to build a comprehensive but accessible financial copilot for small business owners and the accountants who support them. In 2012, they went on to launch the company that we know as Shine today (originally named Ageras) and we began to build a user-focused, fully-integrated business finance platform - unifying banking, accounting, payroll, payments, financing and tax management together in one platform.
Shine is proud to simplify the banking and admin for business owners and accountants across Europe.
