Cons

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to open a FundingHub facility?+

The origination fee is R0 charged to the applicant; lender-paid origination fee, so nothing is billed to the applicant when the facility opens. The rate to weigh is 12% to 72%. The representative example shows a higher monthly rate early in the term and a lower rate after that.

Does applying involve a credit check?+

The credit check is listed as none, and the credit standard is fair. The funder therefore works from the strength of the application rather than a credit file, so past defaults are not the only thing counted in the decision.

How much can I borrow and over what term?+

Amounts run from ZAR 10,000 to ZAR 5,000,000 and terms run over 3 to 24. The facility is set up as a credit line under credit line, so you draw against it as the business needs working capital rather than taking one large sum on a fixed date.

How quickly can money arrive?+

Funding speed is listed as As little as 24 hours on the business facility, which suits a short-term cash need. Because FundingHub works as a marketplace under marketplace, the pace then depends on which funder picks up the application.

Can I repay early without a penalty?+

Free early repayment is available, so clearing the balance before the end of the term carries no extra charge. Pricing is set as a fixed rate type under fixed and a fixed-rate model under fixed rate, so the monthly figure does not drift with market rates.

Who qualifies to apply?+

Eligibility asks for a minimum trading period and a minimum average monthly turnover, and the credit standard is fair. The products are aimed at trading businesses in ZA rather than personal borrowing, so a company account and trading record matter more than personal credit history.

What kinds of finance does FundingHub list?+

The range covers business, secured and cash advance, so business finance sits alongside a credit line, car finance, cash advances and bridging finance. The comparison is built around the business product, priced at 12% to 72% with a credit check of none.

How do I get help once I have applied?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering phone, email and a help centre. That gives you a route for chasing a pending application, and the same channels stay open whether you are comparing or already drawing on the facility.
