GAP Access
This is a cash advance that is only available to businesses that utilise point of sale (POS) devices.
The cash advance amount is determined from the historical transaction values processed through the device.
Repayments for the cash advance mirror the business’s daily POS transaction values and an agreed % of these transactions is automatically put towards repaying the advance.

Overdraft
An overdraft is a credit facility linked to your bank account, which allows you to draw down on your account at any time up to the approved limit.
While there are no set monthly repayments, the bank needs to see a regular deposit into the account.
Overdrafts can be set on:
- a permanent basis (i.e. the same limit stays in place as long as you adhere to the credit
agreement);
- a reducing basis (i.e. every month the limit decreases); or
- a fixed-term basis (i.e. the limit is available only for a certain period, for example while you are
waiting for a sale to go through).
While there is a monthly fee charged to manage your overdraft, you pay interest only on the portion you use.

Depending on the nature and quality of your debtors and the type of debtor finance you choose, you can unlock up to 80% of the cashflow that is tied up in your debtor book.
There are multiple ways to unlock cash from your debtors, some offering additional benefits such as better management and administration of your debtors.

Credit Card
A credit card offers a form of revolving credit while enabling payments (at POS devices or online). You can utilise this line of credit (up to the approved limit), as and when you transact on your card.
Different to an overdraft, you have a monthly repayment obligation of 5% of the outstanding balance. Credit cards offer up to 55 days free of interest, as long as the outstanding balance is settled in full on or before the due date.
Furthermore, some credit card purchases can be done on budget, which allow you to spread repayments over a long period – typically 6-60 months.
