Asset Bridge Capital has announced a scalable lease-to-own financing solution aimed at addressing one of the biggest barriers facing South Africa’s small and mid-sized farmers: limited access to affordable equipment finance.
Despite Africa holding 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land, millions of emerging and small-to-medium-scale farmers remain unable to access tractors, irrigation systems, and other essential equipment. While agriculture supports up to 70–80% of the continent’s population, only a small fraction of farmers qualify for formal credit. This gap restricts productivity, slows rural economic development, and prevents farmers from fully participating in commercial value chains.
Asset Bridge Capital’s lease-to-own model offers an inclusive alternative, enabling farmers to access the tools they need immediately while paying them off over time through structured, affordable terms. This approach removes steep upfront costs, aligns with seasonal income cycles, and supports more sustainable farm growth.
“Our mission is to remove financial barriers so that farmers can scale, innovate, and contribute to national food security,” said Thokozile Mutisya, CEO and Founder of Asset Bridge Capital. “Small and medium-sized farmers are essential to South Africa’s agricultural future, and they deserve financing solutions that work for them.”
Beyond agriculture, Asset Bridge Capital provides similar lease-to-own options across multiple industries, supporting entrepreneurs, small businesses, and informal operators who require machinery, vehicles, and other productive assets to grow.
