"Pumpkn has been the perfect funding partner for my growing business. The loan application process is simple, and their team provided excellent advice on the best funding solutions for our needs. Their idea of a 'Funding Ladder' and their network of lending partners is an exciting approach to progressively accessing larger funding as our business grows."

The Challenge

In March 2024, Conza's received a game-changing order: a contract to supply a major convenience store chain across Gauteng. This was a dream come true, but it also required a financial boost to meet the increased production demands.

‍

The Solution 

When Conza's Biscuits secured a significant contract, they needed a financial boost to make the most of the opportunity. 

Pumpkn stepped in, recognizing their potential. We swiftly provided a short-term input loan on reasonable and affordable terms. This timely investment empowered Conza's Biscuits to not only fulfill the large order, but also comfortably repay the loan within the agreed time frame.

‍

The Outcome

After successfully repaying the initial loan, Conza's confidence grew, and they leveraged this success to secure a second short-term loan from Pumpkn to further optimize their operations. 

‍

This partnership paved the way for a major milestone in June 2024: an Asset Finance Loan that enabled Conza's to invest in state-of-the-art bakery equipment.

‍

The results speak volumes:

‍

📈 Increased production capacity: Conza's can now meet growing demand and explore new markets.

‍

📈 Improved financial health: Strategic financing decisions have strengthened the company's bottom line.

‍

📈 Long-term growth potential: Conza's is poised for continued success with a solid financial foundation and expanded capabilities.
