The increasing difficulty in securing funding
Most businesses in the hospitality industry reach a point where they need to invest in their operation to reach greater heights, whether it is buying new equipment, a large stock purchase or that eye-catching renovation.
Securing finance is rarely a core strength for small businesses. Understandably, their strength lies in their passion for hospitality, fine dining or creative flair.
To complicate matters, getting access to funding when it is needed has become increasingly difficult. With the increased regulation of banks, funding has become cumbersome, time consuming and ultimately unobtainable. At the same time point-of-sale and other alternative lenders often lack credibility, offer over-standardised products and are too expensive.
Internationally however, small businesses have thrived with access to funding through growing so-called FinTech lenders which funded US$ 13bn in 2015 alone. This trend has the potential to become a game changer for local businesses.
The Genfin solution for your business
In line with the global trend Genfin identified a need for a modern and professional alternative to the existing lending options currently available to businesses in South Africa.
