1. Nature of the Services
Prospa is an independent loan facilitator that provides an online funding process through our website (www.prospa.co.za) which allows:
- Small and medium-sized business owners in South Africa to apply for unsecured business loans.
- Prospa to process your application and submit it to a carefully vetted third-party lender.
- The third-party lender to assess your application and decide whether to approve or decline it.
- The third-party lender to contact you once your application has been reviewed.
Prospa is NOT a financial services provider and does not grant loans. We do not provide recommendations or financial advice on which lender may be best for you. We facilitate loan connections based on the information you provide, but final decisions and loan terms are set by the lenders.
If your application is eligible for a referral, then any information you provided in your loan application will be shared by us with the lender. Lenders will use this information to run credit checks against you and to establish whether you meet their requirements for a loan. Lenders may also contact you to request additional information or documents which they require.
Prospa follows up with customers referred to lenders to ensure they receive quality service and satisfactory outcomes. However, we do not guarantee loan approvals or specific terms.
Our website is provided at no charge to applicants. We earn a referral fee from lenders if your application is successful.
