Business financing assistance for South African SMEs

Support with assessing funding needs, preparing applications and communicating with finance houses

Choosing a funding facility starts with understanding your business's cash flow and what the money needs to achieve. Innov8tive Business Consulting helps businesses assess their requirements, prepare supporting information and communicate with finance houses throughout the application process.

Funding needs we help assess

  • Working capital to support day-to-day operations.
  • Stock replenishment and seasonal purchasing.
  • Invoice finance where customer payment cycles place pressure on cash flow.
  • Bridging and purchase order funding, where a suitable facility is available.
  • Commercial property, vehicle and asset finance requirements.
