## Two Strategic Funding Pillars

### Pillar 01: Credit Funding (We Help You Source It)

*Disbursement Rule: For all facilities (Tender Finance, Invoice Discounting, Invoice Financing, Working Capital, and Project Finance), funding is paid directly to the business owner/business bank account giving them direct access to capital. Only specialized Supplier Finance pays suppliers directly on behalf of the client.*

1. **Tender Finance / PO Funding**: ZAR 50k to ZAR 200M+ facility for South African National/Provincial Government, Municipalities, and SOEs (Eskom, Transnet, SANRAL, PRASA). Funds disbursed directly into the contractor's business account with zero property collateral.
