Your details are only shared when you choose to apply

Most business owners apply to the wrong funder first.

Not because their business is bad.

Because every lender has different rules: minimum turnover, trading history, industry preferences, funding amounts, repayment styles and document requirements.

So you apply, wait, get asked for more information, or get declined — then have to start again somewhere else.

Frank does the filtering first.

Hi, I’m Lynette, founder of Frank.

We built Frank because finding business funding in South Africa is still far too confusing. Every lender has different rules, and most business owners only find that out after they’ve already applied. Frank helps you filter first.

Video coming soon — for now, here’s the short version above.

Everything you need to know.

No. Frank helps match your business with funding types and lender options. If you choose to apply, Frank helps pass your details to the relevant lender so they can contact you.

Stop guessing. Find the funders that fit.
