HOW CAN I USE THE FUNDING?
‘When life gives you lemons!’… Business funding can be used for any business-related activities, from increasing working capital to boosting cash flow in slower months. No one understands your business better than YOU do, so we’re not going to tell you what to do with your funding, but what we can tell you is that we love seeing people grow from start-ups to sustainable businesses and we love being a part of the growth.
HOW MUCH FUNDING DO I QUALIFY FOR?

I AM A CLIENT OF YOURS, CAN I EASILY RE-APPLY FOR FUNDING?
Back for more? GREAT! At GroWise Capital, we enjoy building long-standing relationships with our clients, and being part of their journey to success. We understand that you may require funding today to boost your business during peak season, but tomorrow you may need funding when business is slow. Therefore, once you are 80% paid-up, we offer an easy re-application process.
HOW DOES THIS S**** WORK?
We provide you with cash upfront for your business, with flexible repayments and terms. Simply put, we design funding that sets you up for success and assists your business.
WHAT IS A CASH ADVANCE?
GroWise will provide your business with a lump sum of up-front funding. In exchange for this lump sum, we purchase a percentage of your future business’ receivables for the contract term, until the agreed sum is paid-up. This allows us to structure very flexible repayment terms for our clients.
HOW DO REPAYMENTS WORK?
We offer flexible repayment structures and methods designed around your individual needs. Repayments are either daily or weekly via debit order. We keep it simple so you can focus on what matters – your business.
WHAT MAKES GROWISE DIFFERENT?
We understand that no two businesses were created equally and that every business has unique financial requirements. We fuse our advanced underwriting models with our understanding of human nature to customise our funding solutions to our clients’ specific requirements. We speed up the funding, and you speed up the growth.
CAN I SETTLE UP EARLY?
Should your business find itself in a position where it no longer needs business funding and you may wish to settle-up early, we allow our clients to settle-up the agreed amount at any point during their contract. No early-settlement penalties apply, and your business may even be entitled to an early-settlement discount! Your business may choose to settle up, and re-advance their contract, as it needs additional cash-flow. Your business may receive a discount on early-settlement should they choose to re-advance with GroWise.
