AFS, founded in 2017, is a specialised finance house that is passionate about working alongside SMEs to assist in optimizing their cashflow through secured financial solutions.

In June 2019, AFS went from having only the Disclosed Invoice Discounting solution to acquiring the assets and IT platform of Bizcash (Pty) Ltd, one of South Africa’s leading on-line invoice Speed and flexibility discounting platforms and have since decided to keep the name brand as 'Bizcash'.

What has Bizcash accomplished?

Since June 2019, we have grown exponentially, introducing and expanding with a variety of different solutions such as Selective Invoice Discounting, Business Loans, Overdrafts and Term Loans, resulting in over R586 million being paid out to SMEs and growing over 474 businesses across South Africa.

The expansion has successfully enabled us to grow our team by 80%. We have also recently launched our updated and refreshed website. Check it out at www.bizcash.co.za We have established partnerships with Telkom for Business and Debtsource, which enabled us to extend our reach and work with more SMEs that benefit from our financial solutions. This has come at the perfect time, where due to the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses' working capital cycles are under more pressure now than ever before.

Late last year we expanded our solutions yet again by acquiring a world class Supply Chain Finance platform, with which we will be rolling out our Bizcash SCF offerings to the market, with our focus to create value in our clients' supply chains to strengthen and ensure sustainability.

Over the last two years, we have successfully purchased six loan books from various counterparties, with a combined purchase price in excess of R126 million.

What makes Bizcash different?
