Fast Business Funding in South Africa - R5 Million in 24hrs

7/29/20252 min read

Access to fast, flexible business funding is vital for the success of South African SMEs. Whether you're managing cash flow, expanding operations, or stocking up on inventory, securing capital shouldn’t take weeks. Fortunately, with a modern approach to business finance, South African entrepreneurs can now apply for up to R5 million in funding and receive it in as little as 24 hours.

This article explores two powerful funding options available to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), along with key features, qualifications, and how to get started.

Business Funding That Works for You

Instead of the red tape of traditional banking, modern funding providers offer streamlined online applications and quick approvals. The two standout products available today are:

1. Revolving Capital Facility

A flexible funding option that operates like a revolving loan, but with added benefits:

  • Fast, on-demand capital when you need it.

  • No monthly account or admin fees.

  • Only pay for what you use — if you don’t use it, you don’t pay.

  • Easily top up and withdraw as needed.

This is ideal for businesses with seasonal fluctuations or short-term working capital needs.

2. Capital Advance

If you prefer predictability, a capital advance provides a fixed lump sum with fixed repayment terms:

  • Choose from 3, 6, 9, or 12-month terms.

  • Transparent pricing — no hidden costs.

  • No early repayment penalties, so you can save if you pay back sooner.

Use this solution for large purchases, expansion, or bridging gaps in cash flow.

Do You Qualify for Funding?

The minimum requirements are far more accessible than traditional banks. You need:

  • At least 1 year in business

  • Minimum R500,000 in annual revenue

  • A business registered and operating in South Africa

Use the funding calculator to estimate costs and repayment plans.

Get Paid Faster with Trade Credit Solutions

Trade credit challenges? Solutions now exist that allow businesses to get paid instantly while offering their customers up to 6 months to pay.

Benefits include:

  • Instant payment once your customer’s funding is approved.

  • No delays in cash flow.

  • Increased flexibility and sales for both parties.
