Questions & Answers
What if I don’t know what type of finance / loan product I need?
The Application has space for you to tell us this. We will assess your needs and give feedback to you as to what Product/s is best suited to your needs within
our scope of knowledge and Funder relationships. The final decision is yours.
How secure is the confidential information I share with you?
We do not share your information with any third party, except inline with us attempting to have your application approved by a Funder.
Why do you ask for so much financial information?
Funders have various requirements for various products. We try limit the amount of information we ask from you, but we are looking for the right product/s for you and for the right Funder…. Plus we are talking possibly millions of Rands being requested, and we do need these items.
Why do you need the Shareholders to sign Personal Surety
2 good reasons: Once the Funder pays you the Funds, the Shareholders are ultimately responsible for how those Funds are used / spent. The Funders want
the business owners to have ‘skin in the game’ and to take a risk, the same as the Funder is taking when they make a large amount of Funds available to you.
The second reason is if the Funds are not paid back, the Asset taken as security may be sold to recoup the outstanding Funds to the Funder. If there is any
outstanding value after this, then the Shareholders would be responsible in paying any residual amount owed.
Why do you ask for the last 3 months Debtors & Creditors Aged Analysis (the Debtors Book)?
The Debtors Book represents the outstanding debt owed to you by your customers. The way the outstanding debt ages on the Debtors Book is one of the many indicators of how well or not well the Cash Flow will come into the bank account. It gives a good indication as to how well your customers are paying as
well as the strength of your collections team.
Similarly, the Creditors Aged Analysis shows values owed by you to your Creditors. An extended Creditors Ageing list may show Cash Flow pressure (quite possibly the exact reason you are Applying for Funding). Work with us and we will place your Application with the right Funder/s we work with.

How long before I get an answer?
We aim to receive an answer within 3 working days after you send in all the information we need. What we find is that Clients send in
only part of the information and expect an answer immediately. The more information you send to us, the easier and quicker it is to
place your application with the right companies, and get you an answer…. Hopefully an approval.
Why does Beyond Banks charge an Approval Fee?
The skills, experience and time used during the initial assessment together with the ongoing hours to work towards an answer from
the Funder/s is a cost that needs to be accounted for. Remember that any declined deals do no attract any fees. Only when the Fun
der approves your Application is there any fee to pay.
Does Beyond Banks receive any payment from the Funder if the Facility is set up with you?
Sometimes we do receive a fee from the Funder if the Facility is taken up by you.
What if I don’t know what type of finance I need? I only know the problem in my business?
That’s fine. Give us an indepth overview of the challenges you are facing. The more information the better….
Paint a picture for us to really understand what challenges you are facing. If you think you know what the solution is, please let us know.
Your input is important.
Our experience shows us that often a basket of funding options is the best way to finance a business, so there may be more than one product you need, similar to having an Overdraft initially finances Cash Flow needs, and a Hire Purchase finances / Loan finances the purchase of a vehicle.
