‍

Pri & Aquila Trading (Pty) Ltd was founded in 2019 by a determined young female entrepreneur in the township of Umjindi, Barberton, Mpumalanga. Motivated by the opportunities in South Africa’s construction and general supply industries, she set out to build a business that could deliver quality, reliability, and community impact.
‍

Today, Pri & Aquila Trading operates across multiple sectors, including:
‍

• General Building Construction & Maintenance Services
  ‍
  
• Civil Construction & Maintenance Services
  ‍
  
• Catering & Event Management (Government & Corporate)
  ‍
  
• General Supply of Goods & Services
  
  

Affiliated with the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), the company has earned a reputation for delivering projects on time and to a high standard, even in challenging market conditions.

The Challenge

While the business was consistently winning purchase orders, accessing the upfront funding to buy materials and deliver on time was a major hurdle.

‍

Traditional loans often carried high interest rates, sometimes equal to the profit margins, making projects financially unsustainable. These delays not only threatened deadlines but also risked client relationships and future opportunities.

‍

The Solution

After hearing about Pumpkn’s funding solutions, Pri reached out and was approved for support. The process was simple: once a purchase order is received, Pri sends it to Pumpkn along with the required details, and within 24 hours, her suppliers are paid directly.

‍

With affordable rates and fast turnaround times, Pumpkn’s funding meant Pri could take on more projects without the financial strain of costly traditional lending.
‍

The Outcome

The results were immediate:

• Financial stability - no more scrambling for funds to fulfil orders.
  
  
• Faster delivery - projects completed on time, every time.
  
  
• Increased trust - stronger relationships with clients and suppliers.
  
  
• Confidence to grow - knowing funding is available whenever needed.
  
  

This reliable access to capital has allowed Pri & Aquila to focus on delivering excellent service rather than worrying about cash flow.

‍

Conclusion

Pumpkn’s support has gone beyond just funding, it’s been a true partnership. Her proven track record of early repayments has built mutual trust, and she now includes Pumpkn as a strategic partner in her future business plans. With their backing, she’s confident in exploring new opportunities and scaling her operations.
