Business Rescue Finance
Fast Capital When Your Business Needs It Most
Emergency Business Funding for Companies in Financial Distress
When a business enters formal rescue proceedings, time is the one resource it cannot afford to waste. Operations stall. Suppliers demand payment. Staff uncertainty sets in. Geddes Capital provides emergency business funding designed to stabilise your company quickly, giving your rescue practitioner the breathing room to build a credible turnaround plan.
We work directly with business rescue practitioners across South Africa to structure post-commencement funding (PCF) that keeps your business operational while the recovery process unfolds. With a 5-day approval timeline and over R500 million deployed to South African businesses, we move at the pace your situation demands.
What is Post-Commencement Funding (PCF)?
Post-commencement funding is debt funding injected into a company after it has formally entered business rescue proceedings under the Companies Act. It is the financial lifeline that allows a business to keep trading: paying suppliers, retaining staff, and honouring contracts, while a restructuring plan is negotiated with creditors.
PCF providers like Geddes Capital occupy a legally protected position under Section 135 of the Companies Act. This means that as a post-commencement funder, Geddes sits ahead of pre-existing creditors in the repayment queue, a protection that makes it commercially viable to lend into what would otherwise be a high-risk environment.
In plain terms: if your business has viable operations and credible security, post-commencement funding exists to give it a real chance at recovery.
