Timelines

Move swiftly from Application-to-Payout

These are the steps/stages that drive our overall timeline:

  • Application Stage: we actively reach out to you, and request all required documents. Once received you move on to the next stage
  • Assessment Stage: a Credit Analyst meticulously assesses your application
  • Interview Stage: our Credit Committee interviews you
  • Implementation Stage: signing contracts & fulfilling approval conditions. You sign, we action
  • Pay-Out Stage: shortly after the Implementation Stage is completed

We work together to make this process as fast as possible.

Assessment

Credit Analyst engages & asseses > the Credit Committee interviews you

Once we have your application and all supporting docs a Credit Analyst reviews this and will either ask for additional docs (when required) or will arrange for a Credit Interview where you meet directly with our Credit Committee. It’s here that rubber really meets the road.

We don’t ask for business plans as we believe that by making the effort and time to understand you and your business we are in a better position to make a credit decision. In this interview we really get to understand how your business works, its strengths, challenges and if our finance can help it grow.

Pay-Out

After Term Sheet; Agreements; Conditions met

Based on a signed & completed term sheet and our compliance team having checked that all the paperwork is good-to-go… we expedite the pay-out process.

interview

4. As we don’t believe in requesting business plans – the interview with the entrepreneur allows us to get an appreciation for their business model, strategies and vision. This happens either in-person or via a Skype video call.

pay-out

5. Once our compliance team checks that all the paperwork is good-to-go then we proceed to pay-out. Getting this done ASAP becomes our top priority.

Min and max amounts

  • Generally we prefer to finance amounts from R1M at the lower end to R25 million at the top for routine & run of the mill needs
  • However, as an exception, we can consider amounts above R25 million for more structured/specialised needs – we even do larger amounts than this using revolving finance facilities and custom built finance solutions
