How does our application process work?
Apply online within minutes. Once the application process has been completed, your dedicated consultant will request you to submit certain documents for evaluation. Once approved and your loan agreement has been signed, pay-out into your bank can be done that same day.
How long will my application take?
For all approved loans, funds will be available within 3 days from the date the service provider receives the required supporting documentation.
What does service provider consider when evaluating an application?
We take a number of factors into account when structuring your funding solution. There is no simple formula, but we work in three categories to determine an overall score.
- Business Stability
- Financial Metrics
- Credit History
What type of documentation is required?
To kick-off our quick analysis and provide you with a preliminary offer we need:
The most recent 12 months’ of bank statements for your business
Depending on the loan value, we may also require:
- Latest management accounts
- Latest annual financial statements
- SARS Statement of Account (VAT & PAYE as applicable)
Can I apply for a loan for a new or start-up business?
We require at least one year of trading history and a turnover of more than R1 million. As a start-up business, these criteria would not be met. However, where a business already meets these requirements and wish to pursue a new idea within the business, the business would be eligible for assistance.
Can I apply for a loan to purchase an existing business?
We do not provide funding to purchase an existing business, even if it has been trading for at least a year. We primarily look at the past operations of the business to make a funding decision – past operations may not necessarily be indicative of future operations following a change in management. We would therefore prefer that management has been running the business for at least 6 months.
Why do I have to provide my online banking information and what does the service provider do with it?
When providing your online banking username and password details, the system uses these to log into online banking on your behalf, without human intervention, and securely retrieve your bank transactions for the last 12 months. The service provider does not receive, store or have access to your login credentials. Our third-party provider does not store login credentials and all traces of the details are destroyed after the login process is complete. Bank-level security protects your information.
Can the service provider, or any other person, transact on my account?
This is a read-only connection and no transaction(s) can be processed. The system can only retrieve your transactional data.
What is the term of the loan?
Our loans are initially structured over a 12-month period to help keep your installment, as a percentage of your revenue, as low as possible. We can also structure this over a shorter period. In addition, you are welcome to deposit additional capital at any point to reduce your interest charge and shorten the repayment period of your business loan.
You can also access funds by withdrawing additional repaid capital at any time or refinance your facility once 50% of your capital is repaid, effectively extending the term of the loan.
Can I settle the loan earlier or extend the repayment term?
You are welcome to deposit additional capital at any point to reduce your interest charge and shorten the repayment period of your business loan.
You can also access funds by redrawing additional repaid capital at any time or refinance your facility once 50% of your capital is repaid, effectively extending the term of the loan.
Can I access additional funds during the term of my loan?
You can access funds by redrawing excess repaid capital at any time or refinance your facility once 50% of your capital is repaid.
How does repayment work?
We submit a weekly or monthly debit order to your bank account.
What is the cost involved?
We charge no initiation, paperwork or administration fees.
We apply a monthly interest rate of 3.5% per month on the outstanding balance of your loan. Therefore the interest charged to your account reduces over the term of the loan. This results in a total interest charge of roughly R24 000 for each R100 000 borrowed over a 12-month term, or put differently, the equivalent to a 2% flat rate per month.
