The opportunity
South Africa has an estimated R350 billion SME funding gap. Funders exist — what's missing is access, speed and simplicity. PO funding is still new to many SA businesses, and POs are time-sensitive: matching, comparing and approving has to happen in days, not weeks.
How the platform works
Businesses are matched instantly with relevant lenders, compare fees side-by-side, upload documents once, and our AI verifies accuracy and completeness before forwarding to their chosen lender(s).

Founder
Salesitor was founded by Sam Mboshane, an engineer with a degree from Wits and a Master's (MEng) in Project Management from UP, with 12+ years of experience — from large infrastructure and capital-heavy projects to strategic agile fintech and technology ventures. He set out to solve SME access to funding using modern, tech-driven, do-it-yourself tools that support job creation and service delivery.
The marketplace compares government and private supply-and-delivery PO funding side by side, with a roadmap to introduce additional funding verticals.
