Asset-backed lending — heavy equipment and machinery
Asset-Backed Lending

Asset-Backed Lending

Facilities supported by identifiable movable assets and structured security packages.

We provide facilities for businesses that require capital against equipment, machinery, vehicles, or other asset-supported opportunities where value and enforceability can be assessed with confidence.

Our approach focuses on the realizable liquidation value of the underlying asset, not simply its book value. We structure facilities with conservative advance rates and clear security packages that can be enforced if required.

Invoice Discounting

Invoice Discounting

Working capital solutions linked to receivables and operating cash flow needs.

Our invoice discounting solutions are designed for businesses that require earlier access to liquidity tied up in receivables. We focus on structures where debtor quality, repayment visibility, and documentation support a disciplined working capital solution.

We evaluate the underlying debtors, concentration risk, and the quality of the underlying contracts or purchase orders before advancing against receivables.

Discuss Invoice Discounting

Ideal Use Cases

  • Liquidity against blue-chip debtor receivables
  • Bridging cash conversion cycles
  • Working capital against verified invoices
  • Government and corporate debtor facilities

Transaction Profile

Tenor Typically 30 – 90 days
Security Cession of debtors, suretyship
Advance Rate Based on debtor quality (typically 70-80% for blue-chip)
Purchase order funding — supply chain and commercial fulfilment
Purchase Order Funding

Purchase Order Funding

Capital to support the fulfilment of confirmed commercial orders.

We support businesses with confirmed purchase orders that require execution capital. These facilities are typically structured around the credibility of the underlying transaction, the visibility of repayment, and the quality of supporting documentation.

We focus on transactions where a credible, identifiable counterparty has issued a confirmed order and where repayment can be traced directly back to the order's completion and settlement.

Discuss Purchase Order Funding

Ideal Use Cases

  • Funding order fulfilment for blue-chip counterparties
  • Bridging supplier and delivery payment cycles
  • Time-sensitive commercial contract execution
  • Seasonal production and supply requirements

Security Cession of proceeds, suretyship, PO assignment
Key Criteria Confirmed PO from credible counterparty, clear exit
Property bridging — South Africa commercial and residential property
Property Bridging

Property Bridging

Short-term funding secured against property-linked exit events or bridging requirements.

BCS provides short-duration funding for property-linked transactions where timing is critical and a clear exit event can be identified. These facilities are structured with a strong focus on security, exit visibility, and transaction discipline.

We evaluate the quality of the underlying property security, the credibility of the identified exit event, and the ability to enforce in the event of non-performance.

Discuss Property Bridging

Ideal Use Cases

  • Short-term developer exit bridging
  • Bridging against unconditional sale agreements
  • Property-linked liquidity requirements
  • Completion finance with clear sale-based exit

Transaction Profile

Tenor Typically 3 – 6 months
Security First mortgage bond, cession of sale agreement
LTV Approach Based on grade and forced sale value of property
Structured finance — complex, multi-layered facilities
Hybrid / Structured Finance

Hybrid & Structured Finance

Bespoke facilities for opportunities requiring more tailored structuring.

Some commercial opportunities do not fit neatly into a standard lending category. Our hybrid and structured finance solutions are designed for transactions that combine multiple security elements, repayment pathways, or structuring considerations and require a bespoke credit response.

These facilities require closer engagement with our credit team and typically involve more detailed structuring, enhanced diligence, and committee-level governance throughout.

Discuss Structured Finance

Ideal Use Cases

  • Multi-layered collateral or security arrangements
  • Transactions with complex repayment pathways
  • Bespoke commercial or corporate structures
  • Longer-duration facilities with structured monitoring
  • Cross-collateralized opportunities

Transaction Profile

Tenor Up to 36 – 60 months depending on structure
Security Combination of multiple security instruments
Governance Enhanced DD, full IC review required
