Beat-Sofi Granqvist's parents were Karl Emil Granqvist (1830–1889), a mathematics and natural history teacher at Pori upper elementary school, and his first wife, Maria Sofia Nyström. Beat-Sofi Granqvist was a student of Kaarlo Bergbom. She acted in the Swedish Theatre in Helsinki. She also went on tour in Sweden.[2][1][3][4]

In the 1910s, Granqvist studied the manufacture of artificial flowers in Germany. After returning to Finland, she founded Finland's first artificial flower factory, next to her apartment at Pieni Roobertinkatu 4-6.[2][3][5]
