Funding designed for automotive and fuel services businesses
Running a motor workshop, panel beating shop, or fuel station means managing parts inventory, equipment maintenance, and fluctuating fuel margins, all while keeping customers moving. Cash flow gaps can delay critical equipment repairs or leave your forecourt short on stock.
Motor and fuel 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.
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 motor or fuel services 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.
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.
Once approved, funds are deposited into your account within 24 hours, ready when your business needs them.
