About Us

Find what you're looking for. Everything in one place. Simply easy.

Sranan Handel Online is Suriname's online marketplace - a trustworthy, mobile-first alternative to Facebook Marketplace, built for and by people who know Suriname. We combine a classic buy, sell, and rental marketplace with a tradespeople and jobs module, making it easy to buy and sell items, rent a home, find a car or motorbike, arrange transport, and hire reliable professionals for any job - across all 10 districts.

Our story

Sranan Handel Online is operated by Daniël & van der Steede N.V. (KKF 170883), registered at Manjasteeg 55, Paramaribo. The platform grew out of a simple observation: Surinamese buyers, sellers, renters, and job posters have long relied on scattered Facebook groups and WhatsApp chains, with no overview, no real categories, and no way to verify a listing. Sranan Handel Online brings all of that together in one central, organized, and safe place.

What makes us different?

Five main categories, one platform: Professionals & Services, Rent & Property, Cars & Motorbikes, Transport & Moving, and Buy & Sell - with dozens of subcategories, tailored specifically to the Surinamese market.
Reviewed listings: every uploaded photo is automatically screened before a listing goes live, and our team reviews every submission.
Direct, personal contact: no complicated messaging systems - you reach out directly via WhatsApp or phone, the way you already do.
Accessible to everyone: designed mobile-first, with Dutch and English support, and free to use for the vast majority of the jobs market.
Fair growth: the first 500 listings on the platform are completely free, so everyone can join without a barrier to entry.

Who is Sranan Handel Online for?

For the individual selling their old sofa. For the family looking for an apartment in Paramaribo. For the plumber looking for new clients. For the business renting out a pick-up truck. For everyone in all 10 districts of Suriname who wants to do business safely and transparently - online, but with a local feel.

Our promise

We're building a platform you can rely on: transparent fees, clear rules, fast payment review (typically within a few hours), and a team you can reach when you have questions. Sranan Handel Online grows together with Suriname.

Wan firi, wan market. - One feeling, one market.
