This signals to our team that you are ready for a review and triggers our automated document request system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Update Your Supplier Quote Billing Details<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a critical step for compliance. Ask your supplier to update their quote to reflect the following billing information exactly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Ant Capital<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shop 17, Rondevoux Complex, William O\u2019Connor Dr,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Margate Beach, Margate, 4275<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>VAT No:<\/strong> 411 029 5641 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tel:<\/strong> 039 727 5720 | <strong>Email:<\/strong> supplychain@theantcapital.co.za<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quotes with incorrect billing details will be sent back for revision, which can delay your funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Attach Your Valid PO or Letter of Appointment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We fund projects based on the strength of the contract. Ensure your PO or LOA clearly shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The scope of work or supply specifications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The name of the issuing government institution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The total value of the order.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Submit a Recent Full CSD Report<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Central Supplier Database (CSD)<\/strong> report is how we verify your tax compliance and registration status. To ensure a smooth process, provide your CSD login details or the full PDF report (not a summary) that is less than 90 days old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 5: Provide Director ID Copies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We require clear ID copies for all directors to complete our standard due diligence and FICA checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 6: Send All Documents for Final Verification<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fast submission equals fast funding. Once you receive our document request email, reply with all attachments immediately. Our team begins verification the moment your folder is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This step is critical. Correct billing details ensure that the process is compliant, smooth, and aligned with our internal purchase approval system. Quotes with incorrect billing information may need to be revised, which can delay your funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1773422560460\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How long does the process take?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Once all documents are verified, funding approval is typically completed within <strong>four working days<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1773422602674\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Which regions does The Ant Capital cover?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">We specialize in<a href=\"https:\/\/theantcapital.co.za\/about-the-ant-capital\"> <strong>Purchase Order Funding for KZN and the Eastern Cape<\/strong>,<\/a> specifically for supply and delivery tenders issued by government departments and municipalities.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you have a government purchase order with a strict delivery deadline, you need a funding partner that moves as fast as you do.
