We know running a business is never easy. It’s even harder when you can’t access capital.
Fortunately, simple, quick business funding can set your SME up for success.
Here’s where a credit facility comes in.
Think about it.
What difference would it make in your business if you could access up to R2 million whenever you needed it?
“User-friendly, efficient” Business Funding
A lack of funding holds businesses back. Not only that, but cash flow challenges place business owners under immense stress. Instead of jumping on opportunities to grow, you’re up at night, worrying about how to pay unexpected expenses.
And you’re not alone.
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor report found access to finance was one of the biggest obstacles to business growth.
It’s why more and more business owners are using our credit facility to purchase stock or quickly add new team members when they take on new contracts.
One of them is Stefan Jordaan, the owner of Expidor 147, a wholesale supplier of dental products.
When Expidor 147 experiences a growth spike, Jordaan taps into his Revolving Capital Facility.
“The whole process (of accessing funds) is user-friendly and efficient,” said Jordaan.
fInstead of having to re-apply for business finance, Jordaan accesses his line of revolving credit whenever he needs funds.
The cash is available immediately.
Here’s a few other reasons why so many of our customers use our credit facility:
-
- You only pay for the funds you use
- You can settle whenever you want, no early penalties
- You pay no monthly admin fees for having the facility
And because the facility works like Revolving Capital the capital amount becomes available again after every debit order.
You Want Fast, Flexible Business Funding
Tracy Kukard, Business Funding Specialist and Account Manager, said many businesses prioritised easy access to funds.
“A lot of businesses like to have month to month access to a lump sum of funds that they can access at anytime when a particular business need arises.”
What this means is that if a business secures a new contract that requires more staff or equipment, for instance, they can tap into their revolving credit facility.
Businesses across industries are applying for the credit facility, said Lene Schlebusch-Kemp, Business Funding Specialist and Account Manager.
A major draw is the facility’s flexibility.
“There’s no requirement or limitation on how much you use or what you use it for. If you’re a business looking to grow, fund flexibility is crucial.”
Unlike credit options with traditional lenders, Lulalend’s facility imposes no initiation, admin, or credit life charges.
