Whether you run a hair salon, beauty spa, gym, or wellness centre, our funding is built for the realities of South African personal care and wellness businesses.
Funding designed for personal care and wellness service businesses
Running a hair salon, beauty spa, gym, or wellness centre means managing equipment, product stock, and a loyal client base, all while keeping your space inviting and your team motivated. Cash flow gaps can delay a key equipment purchase or prevent you from expanding your service offering.
Beauty and wellness services finance gives you fast access to working capital without the red tape of a traditional bank loan. It's unsecured, meaning no collateral is required, and repayments are structured around your trading turnover.
For over 12 years, Merchant Capital has invested more than R50 billion into nearly 60,000 South African businesses, including hair salons, beauty spas, gyms, and wellness centres. We understand the client-driven pressures of the personal care and wellness sector.
We have extensive experience working with trusted beauty and wellness franchises and buying groups across South Africa, giving you the confidence to grow with a lender who knows your industry.

Repayments are made via daily or weekly debit orders, linked to your card or POS turnover. This keeps repayments manageable even during quieter periods.

No. It's a cash advance: no collateral and no drawn-out bank processes. Approval is quick and repayment is designed around your business.
Yes. Once 70% of your facility has been repaid, you qualify for a re-advance. If you didn't take the full amount initially, you can top up at any point.
