Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is Purchase Order Funding in South Africa?
Purchase Order Funding (PO Funding) is a short term financing solution that helps businesses fulfil large customer orders when they do not have the upfront capital to pay suppliers.

With Purchase Order Funding, a funder pays your suppliers directly so you can deliver the goods or services required by your client. Once the project is completed and the client pays, the funder deducts their fee and the remaining profit goes to your business.

This solution is commonly used by SMMEs that have won government tenders or received supply and delivery purchase orders but need funding to execute the project.

To qualify for Purchase Order Funding at The Ant Capital, your business must:

    • The government institution must be willing to enter into a deed of cession agreement.
    • The minimum funding required must be R35 000 or more.
3. What is the minimum purchase order amount you fund?

The agreement states that once the project has been completed and the government institution makes payment, The Ant Capital will be paid directly by the institution the amount funded plus the agreed markup. The remaining balance, which is your profit from the project, will then be paid directly to your business.
