WHY USKO?
Because we get it.
We know what it's like to be told "no" by the banks. To have the hustle, the drive, the orders, but not the capital. To finally break into the supply chain, only to realise you can't fulfil without upfront cash.
We've lived it.
We've packed the boxes, answered the phones, washed the dishes, done the deliveries, all in one day. We've been the founder, the receptionist, the driver and the cleaner. We know what it takes to build a business when you're starting from nothing.
That's why Usko exists.
We're not here to tick boxes or push loans you don't need. We're here to back real people. People who are building something for their families, their futures, their communities. People who are changing what South Africa looks like, one deal at a time.
We're not just funders, we're co-hustlers.
We believe in unseen entrepreneurs, unshiny businesses, and untold stories. We build small businesses for a living, because we are one. This is real help for real founders. Not for our bottom line, for your breakthrough.
