Four ways
we fund
your fleet.

Every South African business is different. We structure facilities around your cash flow, your assets and your growth plan — not a one-size-fits-all bank product.

01

Operating Lease

Use the asset without owning it. Preserve capital, keep your balance sheet clean, and upgrade when contracts end. The smart choice for businesses that move fast.

02

Full Maintenance Lease

Finance and maintenance wrapped into one predictable monthly payment. Zero surprises, total control. Your fleet runs — we handle the rest.

03

Finance Lease

Fixed monthly payments with ownership options at term end. Build equity in your assets while keeping cash flow predictable and manageable.

04

Working Capital

Unlock liquidity against your existing fleet or equipment. Keep operations running, take on new contracts and fuel growth without diluting equity.

Our Story
An innovative team with 30 years of expertise — and the courage to go where banks won't.

MarathonOne was built on a simple premise: South Africa's biggest and boldest businesses deserve financing that matches their ambition. We are not a bank. We are a specialist — which means we can move faster, think deeper, and say yes where others say no.

Our team brings three decades of commercial banking and credit experience to every deal. We understand the mining contractor who needs 12 graders by Monday. The transport company expanding its fleet for a new government contract. The manufacturer replacing ageing equipment to stay competitive.

Why MarathonOne

Where traditional
banks fall short,
we deliver.

01

Fast Decisions

Where banks take weeks, we deliver answers in days. Our AI-powered credit engine and experienced team move at the speed your business demands. No committees. No red tape.

02

Specialist Expertise

We understand commercial assets — trucks, plant, mining equipment — in a way generalist banks never will. Our credit decisions are informed by 30 years of hands-on industry knowledge.

03

Flexible Structuring

We build facilities around your cash flow, your contracts and your growth plan — not rigid bank policies. Every deal is structured from scratch to fit your exact situation.

04

Relationship Driven

You deal with decision-makers, not call centres. Our team is accessible, accountable and invested in your long-term success — not just closing a transaction.

05

Competitive Rates

Our access to multiple funding sources means we can structure competitive facilities that often outperform standard bank offerings, particularly for complex or non-standard assets.

06

Proven Track Record

Over R1 billion in funding facilitated across South Africa's most demanding sectors. When we say we can do the deal, we have the history to back it up.

Powered by Intelligence

Smarter decisions.
Faster approvals.

At MarathonOne, artificial intelligence isn't a buzzword — it's embedded in how we work, from the moment you submit an application to the day funding is in place.

Speed

Rapid Credit Assessment

Our AI engine analyses credit applications in a fraction of the time it takes a traditional bank. By processing financial data, payment history and asset profiles simultaneously, we compress what used to take weeks into days — so you get an answer when your business needs it, not when the system gets around to it.

Intelligence

Deep Industry Intelligence

Understanding a business means understanding its environment. Our AI benchmarks each client against sector-specific data — revenue patterns, growth trajectories, asset utilisation rates — to build a complete picture of where a business stands today and where it's headed.

Accuracy

Objective, Bias-Free Decisions

Human judgement, however experienced, carries blind spots. AI doesn't. Every application is assessed on the same criteria, every time — eliminating the unconscious biases that can disadvantage good businesses unfairly. More consistent, more accurate, more equitable.
