Timelines

Applications-to-Payout in approx. 10 days

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

  • Application Stage: depends on how quickly you provide required info
  • Assessment Stage: a Credit Analyst engages & assesses – typically 1-3 days
  • Interview Stage: our Credit Committee interviews you – 3 sessions per week
  • Implementation Stage: signing contracts & fulfiling approval conditions. Ranges from 1 day to few weeks [depends on complexity and your responsiveness]
  • Pay-Out Stage: within 24hrs of completion of Implementation Stage

Your responsiveness & cooperation – significantly affects timelines.

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 then proceed to pay-out the same day or next day.

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.
