Our Story
Named for trust, built for the future
Handsal is the old Nordic word for handshake – the symbol of the agreement that binds us together. We have brought personal trust and the spirit of the handshake into the digital age, so you can enter into agreements quickly, securely and with a full overview. We make the complex simple, so you can focus on what matters most: shaking hands on the next big deal.

We've been in the trenches ourselves
Handsal wasn't born in a glass palace, but from the frustrations we faced as SME owners ourselves.
We've run businesses with everything from 1 to 25 employees. We know the feeling of frantically searching for a signed contract in an endless inbox while the customer waits. We've received an invoice for a subscription we thought we'd cancelled – simply because the notice was buried at the bottom of a PDF nobody had looked at in a year.
As the owner of a small business, you wear a hundred hats. You're the director, the salesperson and the legal counsel. We realized that the 'digital signature' was only half the solution. What you really need is a digital memory that never lets you down.
We built Handsal because we lacked the tool that could give us peace of mind, whether we were alone in the company or leading a team of 25. We've cut away everything superfluous and kept what creates value: Simplicity, clarity and security for the next handshake.
