Is your business struggling to make ends meet? One quick finance option is to use a fully paid up vehicle to secure a short-term loan.

For example, you can use a personal or company car, bakkie, delivery van or even a one-ton truck as collateral for a loan. This is one of the quickest and least risky ways to get a small business loan.

Why consider a vehicle-backed business loan

A vehicle-backed loan is a type of asset-based loan. As the funds are secured by a business asset, there is no need to submit business financials or bank statements.

Similarly, the track record and credit history of the sole proprietorship, CC or company is irrelevant.

Provided the vehicle is no longer financed, and in good condition, your business will qualify for a loan – whether it is a brand new startup or has only been operating for a short period of time.

How to get a vehicle-backed business loan in South Africa

At Pawn My Car, we process vehicle-backed loans within 24 hours.

All that is required is information about the car, van or bakkie, such as make, model, condition and mileage, which you can provide online, or over the phone. Based on that information, we will make you an initial offer of a loan.

If the amount quoted meets your approval, we will set up a convenient time for you to bring the vehicle in to the nearest Pawn My Car branch for a physical appraisal.

Thereafter, the loan agreement is drawn up, and the car, bakkie or truck is safely stored at a secure lock-up facility, and fully insured for the duration of the loan term.

On signature of the agreement, the funds are transferred into your small business account, and cleared for immediate access.

What documents are required to secure a loan against a car, truck or bakkie?

The only documents required to facilitate the loan are the original vehicle registration papers, and a copy of the registered owner’s ID.

If the car is registered in the name of the business, we will need a certified copy of the company’s founding documents.
