Why would your clients benefit from a facility with Bridgement? 

SMEs that choose Bridgement are choosing access to up to R5 million in funding in 24 hours or less. In addition to promising speed to our clients, we are committed to simplicity. Bridgement’s paperless application process takes less than two minutes to fill out online, and is not made complex with application hidden charges, account fees, or early settlement penalties. 

Our review process is uncomplicated, which frees us up to make efficient funding decisions. With our applicants’ consent, we plug into financial records on platforms like the business’s accounting software (including Xero, Sage, and Quickbooks) or review PDFs of financial statements submitted by prospective applicants. With secure access to this financial data, we can make an automatic decision on the limit of the facility that the client has applied for. 

This also means that Bridgement can approve applications in a matter of hours instead of the average 3-5 weeks that the same client might spend waiting to hear back from a traditional lender. 

What does a business need to qualify for a facility with Bridgement? 

To qualify for a Bridgement facility, prospective clients simply need to meet the following criteria: 

• They must be a registered company in South Africa 
• The company must have an annual turnover of at least R500 000 
• The company must have a minimum trading history of 6 months 

While it’s certainly not a requirement, our facilities are best suited to growing businesses that are seeking all the benefits of business funding without all the fuss. No lengthy waiting periods, no complicated paperwork, no long lists of hidden costs and built-in charges. Just pure business funding, simple as that.
