They are a specialist risk finance company that provides customised financial solutions, sectoral knowledge, mentorship, and other added-value services for formal small and medium enterprises (SMEs). They’re passionate about funding, supporting and mentoring entrepreneurs, or as they like to call them, the square pegs in round holes.

They’re ‘square pegs’ too.

Unlike with some risk finance companies, you the entrepreneur, are their exclusive focus.

 

They know that by investing in you, the entrepreneur, it will not only help with creating and building your own wealth, but also fuel the growth of the economy and the creation of jobs.

 

Over the past 30+ years, they have tailored every aspect of their business to ensure your success. Here are some of the ways they do this:

 

Their products and services are specifically tailored to meet your unique needs.

They don’t have the same owner’s capital or security requirements that many other financial institutions do.

Their range of financing and added-value services provide an integrated solution for you, catering for all aspects of your business needs, including property broking and property management, as well as consulting and mentorship services.

As they specialise in investing capital, skills and knowledge in entrepreneurs, their staff have in-depth knowledge of the SME sector, as well as insight into the challenges facing independent businesses.

Their risk financing model is regarded as one of the most innovative in the world and has been internationally accepted as a working financing solution for SMEs in developing countries.

Similarly, their due diligence process is thorough, tried and tested; therefore providing insight into the extent of inherent risk in each deal.

Their systems and processes have earned us an ISO 9001:2008 accreditation – the first financial services company in South Africa to be accredited in this way.
