Fibre Finance

Financing Fibre Builds & Networks …

Fibre Finance is a solution for SMEs in the the fibre industry that are looking to grow their businesses but require capital in order to take on or complete projects and contracts that they have secured or that they wish to pursue. We finance fibre infrastructure builds by providing finance for fibre specific equipment & working capital. We also partner in joint ventures for fibre infrastructure builds and development.

Many companies in the telecoms and fibre industry receive contracts from larger entities that require significant cash flow in order to purchase equipment/supplies or hire more staff to complete the contract. In the event that they are unable to secure an overdraft or a traditional loan these companies have few other options.

Spartan is an alternative finance provider that specialises in SMEs and provides finance to specialised industries through growth finance, bridging finance and specialised asset finance. Our Fibre Finance is tailor made to assist the fibre industry with contract and project finance, in the form of working capital or a joint venture basis, to complete projects/contracts and or build their own networks.

Our Bridging Finance is a solution particularly suited to the fibre industry as it that assists businesses with solving cash flow issues due to growth related challenges. Bridging Finance is for either a once-off need or for regular use in your business – for 1 or 2 or 3 month terms.

Spartan’s Specialised Asset Finance is also perfectly aligned to the fibre industry as it caters to the specific and niche equipment that fibre infrastructure builds require.

Joint Venture Funding, is where Spartan enables your company to develop fibre infrastructure with shared ownership of these sites. Whilst traditional funders are unwilling to finance unconventional assets, like fibre infrastructure, we’re an entrepreneurial and alternative funder that has experience in this form of specialised funding.

How it works …

If you’re at a point where you need cash flow assistance due to growth in your business – then Spartan’s Fibre Funding or Joint Venture Funding helps you cross this gap.

Typical Credit Criteria

  • Only for cash flow need triggered by growth & not distress context

  • Credit assessment of the business, ‘the jockeys’ and source of repayment & available collateral

Typical Transaction Terms

  • Funding size minimum R1M and maximum R25M

  • Debt finance or Joint Venture options

When to use it …

2 scenarios:

  • You have secured a valuable deal [project or contract] and now need to get to work delivering it – but there are several new challenges mostly in the form of cashflow management… you need to pay your suppliers and staff for the next 2 months but only receive your payment from the new client after 90 days. Our Bridging Finance and Working Capital Finance fit this need.

  • You want to build your own network in some specific geographic locations and you require a partner to finance the project. This is where Spartan’s Joint Venture Funding is the appropriate option.
