Fundrr is a developing financial start-up that offers company financing. Fundrr created an automated credit model that analyzes nearly 100 data factors to deliver a comprehensive view of development opportunities. This enabled the fintech firm to generate a funder score.
Fundrr loans are available to small South African enterprises in all industries. They provide loans ranging from R20,000 to R500,000, which are available within 24 hours of approval.

As a financial technology company, Fundrr uses algorithms to assess businesses as a whole. Not only do they assess the business’s financial data, Fundrr takes into account other nontraditional data to determine your score.
On non-traditional financial data, Fundrr considers the aspects like; customer sentiment ratings, influencer opinions in blogs and forums, company news and even its location.
An agreement is set up on repayments compatible with your business’s cash flow. This is to state whether you will be able to pay every day, weekly or monthly.
Fundrr offers 3 to 12 months term business loans depending on their analysis of your business.
The interest fee charged is determined by the duration of the loan and the Fundrr score produced by their analysis. On average, a R100 000 loan amount paid back in 6 months may attract 17% interest. This means you will be charged R17 000 interest fee, therefore, paying back R117 000.
The sum of R117 000 will then be paid back in instalments that best suit your business.
There are no hidden fees, no administration fees, no origination fees and no extra added costs. You only pay the interest you sign up for.
Nontraditional data is also considered
One challenge small businesses incur is access to funds. Statistics state that 60% of South African businesses close in just 3 years. Businesses that run well on low capital and cash flow are also considered.
Fundrr considers nontraditional data of their business. Businesses that have a good customer base, are well located and have a good reputation usually have a better Fundrr score.
Faster application process
The Fundrr score’s decision-making algorithm speeds up the application process. Businesses are able to get their answers the same day they apply and can access their funds in 24 hours when approved.
Whereas banks and other traditional lenders may go on for days before accepting or rejecting your application.
Costs
The only interest fee paid is the one agreed on upon approval of the application.
Also, Fundrr will not charge you a penalty for settling your business loan early. When you settle your loan early, you save on the interest charged.
Short loan terms
Fundrr is a short-term business loan provider. This means it won’t be suitable if you are looking for a long-term loan. Some businesses would prefer a long-term loan because of the relatively low instalments. Also, some companies may prefer long-term loans because of the tax deduction on interest payments.
Stringed requirements
Requiring more than R1 million annual turnover from a small business is a turnoff as most small businesses are not making that much.
