I called Fund The People not knowing what to expect. Andile answered all my questions and helped with my invoice discounting application. He was honest about what I qualified for and never oversold anything. That honesty is what made me trust the process. Great service.

The team at Fund The People, especially Andile, truly understands the SME world. He helped me with funding and also listed me as a supplier on their platform. Two months later I received an enquiry from a construction company. Business is growing and I owe part of that to Andile.

When you know your invoices will be converted to cash quickly you stop making desperate decisions. You price properly. You plan properly. You grow properly. The process itself is simple and well managed. Thank you Sune for such great service

My own overheads were not waiting with me. Fund The People's invoice discounting was the solution I needed and the process was every bit as good as people had told me. Professional, fast, and clear. I submitted my invoice with the supporting documents, the team processed it efficiently, and I received funds that kept my practice running smoothly.

Phela, when you are farming and supplying in rural KwaZulu-Natal the banks don't always understand your business. Fund The People did. I had a supply order for a government nutrition programme and needed working capital to coordinate my network of small farmers. PO funding through Fund The People gave me that capital and the process was handled professionally despite me being far from any major city. Everything was done remotely, communication was consistent, and the funding was confirmed when they said it would be.

I'll be honest, I was sceptical. I had heard about invoice discounting before but always assumed there would be catches, delays, or hidden costs. Fund The People changed my view entirely. The process is transparent from beginning to end. The team tells you exactly how it works, what the costs are, and what to expect at every stage. I submitted two invoices from a client who was sitting on them for 60 days. Fund The People processed both efficiently and I received my funds quickly

What Is Purchase Order Funding?

Purchase order funding (or PO funding) is short-term finance that helps you pay your supplier when you’ve got a confirmed customer order but don’t have the cash to fulfil it upfront. It’s perfect for growing businesses that sell products but need help covering costs before the client pays.
Many SMEs across the country are discovering how this flexible funding option helps them unlock growth and take on larger opportunities — without draining their cash flow.
At Fund The People, we specialise in purchase order funding, offering funding from R250 000 and up to help businesses scale, fulfil government tenders, and meet client demands with confidence.

Benefits of Purchase Order Funding For South African Businesses

With purchase order funding, you don’t have to turn down large deals.
Explore our Purchase Order Funding Solutions for support to pay suppliers and fulfil your awarded government order.

If your business supplies tangible products — such as construction materials, electronics, uniforms, or office supplies — and needs to purchase stock before fulfilling orders, purchase order (PO) funding offers an ideal solution.

In South Africa, businesses that service government contracts often face long payment delays, sometimes waiting months. PO funding bridges this gap, helping you deliver on time without putting your cash flow under pressure.
