Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can I get a business loan in South Africa?

Merchant cash advances and online business loans can be approved within 24 hours and funded the same day or next business day. Traditional bank loans take 5–10 business days. Approval speed depends on how quickly you submit bank statements, company documents and financial records.

What documents do I need for a fast business loan?

For fast online lenders: 3–6 months bank statements, company registration, and director ID. Some merchant cash advance providers only need 3 months bank statements and your latest card machine settlement reports — no financial statements required.

What is the cost of a fast business loan vs a bank loan?

Fast online loans carry higher rates (typically 3–6% per month or factor rates of 1.1x–1.4x) compared to bank loans at prime+3–8% per annum. However, they require far less documentation and fund within hours rather than weeks. For short-term cash flow needs, the speed premium is often worthwhile.
