Built for those who go further
Traditional banks don’t always understand how to finance specialist leisure assets. Most banks are set up to finance what depreciates on a predictable curve; the everyday car, the standard loan, or the product that fits a system. Leisure assets rarely fit into that system.
Where others stop, we go further. We help you achieve your lifestyle goals while keeping your capital available for investment and future opportunities.
Your hobbies and aspirations are unique to you, and the financing solution should be too. Our tailored finance solutions are structured around your assets and how you use and enjoy them.
What leisure assets we finance
We offer financing solutions for a diverse array of leisure assets:
Light aircraft and helicopters
For private pilots and business flyers, we structure finance around the aircraft.
Yachts and boats
Set sail with our yacht and boat financing solutions, designed to make luxury maritime adventures accessible.
Vintage or classic cars and motorcycles
We specialise in financing collector and enthusiast vehicles that often fall outside traditional bank lending criteria.
Equestrian pursuits
Horses, horseboxes, horse trailers, tack, and stable infrastructure. We finance the full picture, not just the parts that are easy.
Golf carts and equipment for golf estates
For residents of South Africa’s premier golf estates, we make it straightforward to finance your cart and equipment.
Bicycles and e-bikes
For serious cyclists, we finance premium road bikes, mountain bikes, and e-bikes from approximately R50,000 upward.
Caravans and leisure trailers
New, preowned, or privately sold. We finance caravans where most banks will not.

Standard vehicle finance is built around everyday motor vehicles. Leisure finance operates in an entirely different space. The assets involved carry distinct characteristics; specialist valuations, seasonal usage patterns, international registration considerations, and often significant appreciation potential. Our leisure finance solutions are structured to reflect all of this.
We assess your application based on factors such as your credit history, income, and the specific leisure asset you wish to finance. Our goal is to ensure that the financing solution we offer is tailored to your financial situation and aspirations. Simply contact us for a consultation, and our knowledgeable team will guide you through the application process, making it easy to get started on acquiring your dream leisure asset.
