Funding Application Declined? Review Before Reapplying
Practical steps to help South African businesses prepare an informed funding discussion.
Separate fixable gaps from structural risk
A missing document may be easy to correct. Unsustainable repayments or weak project economics need more substantive changes.
Rebuild the evidence
Update the financial information, proposed use of proceeds, cash-flow forecast, project assumptions and explanation of the repayment route.
Reconsider the facility
The amount, term, security requirements or even product type may not fit the business. A different structure is not automatically better.
Apply selectively
Review suitability and permissions before sharing sensitive documents with new providers. A stronger application remains subject to independent credit decisions.
