Accelerate your business with
Bridging Finance
At Merchant Factors, we define bridging finance as short-term funding designed to “bridge the gap” between immediate cash flow needs and future expected inflows. It’s a practical solution that ensures your business keeps moving, even when timing mismatches occur between payments going out and money coming in.
In the South African context, bridging finance is especially valuable for situations like delayed mortgage bond registrations, pending international payments, or other transactions where funds are temporarily inaccessible.
