Funding designed for distributors and manufacturers
Running a distribution or manufacturing business means managing production costs, supplier relationships, and the cash flow gap between production and payment. Whether you distribute goods to retailers or manufacture products for the market, cash flow gaps can slow your production line or limit your ability to fulfil orders.
Distribution and manufacturing finance gives you fast access to working capital without the red tape of a traditional bank loan. It's unsecured, meaning no collateral is required, and repayments are structured around your trading turnover.
Complete a simple online application and upload your proof of residence, business statements, and six months of bank records. It takes just a few minutes.
To qualify, your distribution or manufacturing business must be registered in South Africa, trading for at least 12 months, generating R50,000+ per month. You must be a South African citizen or have a qualifying guarantor. We do not fund start-ups.
We assess your details and design a funding solution tailored to your business, with repayment terms you can manage confidently.
Repayments can be structured as a percentage of your turnover, via daily or weekly debit orders. We'll recommend the option that best fits your trading pattern.
Once approved, funds are deposited into your account within 24 hours, ready when your business needs them.
