Aline takes one application to a network of vetted South African funders, compares the offers, and explains every one in plain language. The offer you see is the offer you get.
We work with established, trading businesses — not startups. If you've been operating for a year or more, there's a good chance we can help.
Bridge the gap between invoicing and getting paid. Cover seasonal dips, stock, payroll, or a slow-paying client without missing a beat.
Open the second location. Hire the team. Buy the stock that lets you take the bigger order. Capital structured for expansion, not survival.
Trucks, plant, machinery, medical devices, technology. The asset itself typically secures the deal, so terms are often better than an unsecured loan.
We handle the back-and-forth with funders so you never have to chase anyone or repeat yourself.
One short form about your business and what the capital is for.
We take your profile to the funders most likely to say yes on fair terms.
Real offers, side by side. We explain the rate, the term and the true total cost of each.
Choose what fits. Funds are released and you get back to running the business.
Every fee, rate and term is on the table before you sign. And because we're not tied to any single lender, we have no reason to push you anywhere but the best offer.
If you're an established, trading South African business, you're most of the way there.
*All figures are indicative ranges based on typical funder criteria and do not constitute an offer of credit. Actual amounts, rates and terms are determined solely by the funding partner following their assessment. Aline is a facilitator and does not lend.
Yes. There is no application fee, no brokerage fee and no success fee. The offer you see from a funder is the offer you get — every cost is disclosed up front, and if we can't find you a suitable offer, you owe nothing.
Not yet. Our funding partners require a registered business with at least 12 months of trading history and a valid business bank account. If you're earlier than that, get in touch anyway — we're happy to point you toward the right resources.
Most applications receive a decision within 3–5 business days. Once approved, funds are typically released within days. Timing depends on the funder and how quickly documents are provided.
Basic business details, recent bank statements, and a short explanation of what the capital is for. We keep paperwork to a minimum and tell you exactly what's needed up front.
We only work with funders who allow early settlement without penalty — it's one of our selection criteria. We'll confirm the terms for each offer before you choose.
An initial enquiry with Aline does not involve a credit check. A funder will only assess your credit once you've chosen to proceed with a specific offer, and we'll tell you before that happens.
A few minutes, no obligation, and a real person on the other end to talk it through.
