ways to say 'yes' to business owners
who need a viable additional source
of funding in order to maximise
growth opportunities and enhance
their assets. "Larger corporate entities
have access to funds, banking lines or
parent companies that can support
them, but SMEs don't have the luxury
of that kind of support; they need a
stable financier to support them" says
Glenda Reynhardt. Delayed payments
from clients has a negative impact on
cash flow and is a risk to the business.
Continuity in supply is broken, and
their credibility is at stake both with
suppliers and clients. Not having
access to cash reserves also puts
business owners on the back foot, and
disqualifies them from benefitting from
early settlement discounts or special
prices. "For example, when dealing with
branded items from overseas, we are
often a season behind, and retailers are
willing to sell a container of end-of-
range items for half price. The items
will move very well in our local market,
but if entrepreneurs don't have the
cash on hand they can't take advantage
of these kinds of offers; while their
competitors may very well be able to."Filling the gap
ReichmansCapital has a variety of
products on offer to fill the funding
gap, from trade finance through to
asset and equipment finance and
debtor finance, with specific products
in between. "We're not a 'one-size-
fits-all' solution, but prefer to structure
