Fast, Flexible Funding for Your Health & Wellness Retail Business

Whether you run a supplement store, health food shop, or wellness product retailer, our funding is built for the realities of South African health and wellness retail.

What is Health & Wellness Retail Finance?

Funding designed for health and wellness product retailers

Running a health and wellness retail business means managing specialist stock, supplier relationships, and a health-conscious customer base, whether you sell supplements, health foods, or wellness products. Cash flow gaps can cost you a bulk order discount or leave your shelves short when demand is highest.

Health and wellness retail 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.

Step 1: Apply Online

Step 2:  Your Tailored Offer

Step 3:  Receive Funds

Step 1:
Apply Online

Complete a simple online application and upload your proof of residence, business statements, and six months of bank records. It takes just a few minutes.

To qualify, your health and wellness retail business must be registered in South Africa, trading for at least 12 months, generating R50,000+ per month. You must be a South African citizen or have a qualifying guarantor. We do not fund start-ups.

Step 2:
Your Tailored Offer

We assess your details and design a funding solution tailored to your business, with repayment terms you can manage confidently.

Repayments can be structured as a percentage of your card or POS turnover, via daily or weekly debit orders. We'll recommend the option that best fits your trading pattern.

Step 3:

Once approved, funds are deposited into your account within 24 hours, ready when your business needs them.

FAQs:

How Long Does Approval Take?

Most health and wellness retail businesses are approved and funded within 24–48 hours of submitting the required information.

How Are Repayments Structured?

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

Can I Use the Funding for Stock or a Store Upgrade?

Absolutely. Many clients use it to bulk-buy specialist stock, fund a store refurbishment, or invest in new display or refrigeration equipment.

Is This a Loan?

No. It's a cash advance: no collateral and no drawn-out bank processes. Approval is quick and repayment is designed around your business.

Can I Apply for a Re-Advance?

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.
