The challenge
Phirishi Trading, founded in 2019, identified strong demand for quality livestock and feed in Burgersfort but lacked working capital. Cattle alone cost R10,000+ per head, limiting growth and the ability to capitalise on timely opportunities.
The solution
Pumpkn provided a loan that let the business increase livestock inventory and trade more consistently. The application process was straightforward, with funding disbursed within days — letting John act quickly on market opportunities.
The outcome
With Pumpkn's support, Phirishi Trading increased livestock stock, boosted sales volumes, improved cash flow and stabilised operations — establishing a foundation for continued growth.
