The process

From application to ownership in six steps

We keep the process transparent. You always know where your application stands and exactly what your agreement looks like before you sign.

    Apply online

    Tell us what kit you need, upload your quote, and share a few details about your business. It takes about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Get verified

    We run identity and business checks through Didit. Once approved, we underwrite your deal and prepare a schedule.

    Review your fixed monthly repayment, term, and settlement figure. E-sign the contract when you are ready.

Why gear finance works

  • Keep your cash flow

    Preserve working capital for jobs, payroll, and growth instead of tying it up in gear.

  • Fixed monthly cost

    No surprise rate hikes. Your repayment is set for the full term.

  • Own the asset at the end

    Every payment builds your ownership share. At settlement, the title is yours.

  • Settle early, no penalty

    Pay the agreement off faster whenever your cash flow allows.

What you'll need

  • Registered business trading for 6 months or more
  • Proof of income or contracts covering the monthly repayment
  • South African ID and verifiable business address
  • Equipment quote from a recognised supplier

Decisions in 2 business days
