The challenge
After receiving IDC funding in 2020, the business flourished with infrastructure investments. But rapid growth created ongoing capital needs to sustain operations, manage cash flow and seize new expansion opportunities.
The solution
Pumpkn provided a series of short-term loans tailored to the business — enabling flexible cash-flow management, the acquisition of trading stock and agricultural inputs, and the confidence to onboard new clients.
The outcome
Ikhwezi successfully expanded vegetable trading operations and ventured into sugar-cane production while meeting growing product demand. The company now has financial stability for further industry expansion.
