FAQS

Who qualifies for a Pumpkn loan?
FAQ Loan

To qualify, your business must be CIPC-registered, have a business bank account, and have traded for at least 1 year (food businesses) or 3 years (agri businesses). You’ll also need a minimum annual turnover of R1m.

What documents do I need to apply?
FAQ Loan

We’ll need a copy of the business owner’s ID, your CIPC registration document, and 6 months of recent business bank statements. You’ll also complete our quick onboarding form to get started.

What can Pumpkn loans be used for?
FAQ Loan

Our loans are designed to help established agri and food businesses manage cash flow and support growth. They can be used for working capital, stock purchases, or day-to-day expenses.

Do you fund startups, grants, or long-term purchases?
FAQ Loan

Unfortunately not at this stage - we don’t fund startups, offer grants, or finance long-term purchases like land or motor vehicles. Our loans are strictly commercial and carry standard fees.

How quickly can I access funding once I apply?
FAQ Loan

Once we’ve received your documents and completed our review, approved businesses can typically access funding within a few business days.

Do I need to own land or property to qualify?
FAQ Loan

Not necessarily. Many of our loans are unsecured, meaning you don't need to put up property as collateral.

What are the minimum requirements to apply for finance?
FAQ Loan

You'll need:
- A registered business.
- At least R500,000 in annual revenue.
- Six months of bank statements.
Additional requirements may apply depending on your chosen loan and your business's risk profile.
