Aligned by Design
Performance-based. Risk-aware. Incentives that point the same way.
We are not a directory, a broker or a lead generator. Every introduction is curated, every fee is tied to outcome, and every risk is mapped before the connection is made.
01
Performance-Based Success Fees
Your success is the trigger for ours. Success fees are structured against completed transactions, agreed milestones and measurable outcomes — not introductions, not activity, not pipeline. If the connection does not produce a result, there is no success fee.
02
Aligned Incentives
Clients, partners and Mariba all sit on the same side of the table. Partners are compensated for delivery. We are compensated for the connection that converts. Fees are disclosed upfront, with no layered costs and no hidden margins.
03
Risk, Managed Before Connection
Risk does not disappear because a deal is introduced. It is mapped, documented and owned. Before any connection, we screen for mandate fit, capacity to execute, track record and client-first delivery.
04
Curated, Not Crowded
You are not added to a list. You are matched to the specialist whose mandate fits your requirement — one introduction, not a scattergun. Curated connections mean less noise, faster decisions and better execution.
The People Behind the Connections
A team built on trust, track record and direct access.
Mariba Media is led by operators who understand what it takes to fund, build and scale businesses in South Africa. Our network is personal, our relationships are direct, and our reputation is built on results.

Demand Meets Supply
We connect the need to the specialist who can answer it.
Most businesses do not lack ambition. They lack access — to the funder whose mandate matches their deal, the installer who can execute at their site, the structure that fits their cash flow. Mariba Media is the connective layer between demand and supply.
Demand
Your requirement, qualified.
You tell us what you need — the energy bill, the unpaid invoices, the confirmed order, the project. We frame it as a clear demand signal: scope, timing, ticket size and the outcome required.
Supply
The partner with the exclusive mandate.
We route that signal to the specialist partner who holds the exclusive mandate in that field — not a marketplace, not a bidding war. One qualified demand signal, one capable supply partner.
Result
Exclusive business. Curated outcomes.
Partners get exclusive access to qualified demand. Clients get a matched opportunity with a partner who can execute. The result is measurable — revenue generated, operations transformed, outcomes that show up in the business.
The Gap We Bridge
Capital and infrastructure are not luxuries. They are the cost of staying open.
Every business runs on something — power, cash flow, access. When one of those breaks down, operations stop. When access to capital is slow or unclear, growth stalls. We exist to close that gap.
01
Energy
Rising tariffs and unreliable supply erode margins. Solar is no longer a sustainability goal. It is an operating cost decision — and the right connection makes it capex-free, fast and measurable.
02
Cash Flow
Unpaid invoices. Confirmed orders you cannot fund. Working capital that dries up at the wrong moment. These are the quiet killers of growing businesses — and each one has a specialist solution.
03
Scale & Resilience
Growth does not fail because of ambition. It fails when access to capital and infrastructure is slow, unclear or mismatched. The right connection turns a stall into a step change.
How It Works
One conversation. The right specialist.
You do not need to know which funder, installer or lender fits your situation. That is what we are here for. Tell us what you need. We will tell you if there is a specialist who can help — and connect you if there is.
01
Tell Us What You Need
Describe the need — the energy bill, the unpaid invoices, the confirmed order, the project. Share whatever standard documents you have. No obligation, no cost.
02
We Curate the Connection
We match your requirement to the partner whose mandate fits — screened for track record, capacity to execute and client-first delivery. One qualified introduction, not a scattergun.
03
You Deal Directly With the Specialist
All terms, due diligence and delivery are between you and the partner. We stay out of the way. The success fee is performance-based — earned when the connection produces a result.
Client Stories

Common Questions
What you need to know.
Our network is made up of vetted specialist funders, installers and lenders — each with an exclusive mandate in their field. Every partner is selected for track record, capacity to execute and client-first delivery. We do not name them publicly; we connect your enquiry to the partner with the exact mandate for your requirement.
We serve businesses across agriculture, construction, retail and e-commerce, manufacturing, commercial property, fuel retail, medical practices, security, and mining and logistics. If your operations depend on energy, cash flow or scale, we can connect you to a specialist who solves it.
For most core services — business loans, invoice finance, purchase order funding, lines of credit and commercial solar — we can identify the right specialist within 24 to 48 hours of receiving a complete enquiry. IPP project funding is a longer cycle, typically measured in weeks rather than days.
Success fees are performance-based and tied to completed transactions or agreed milestones. Fees are disclosed upfront. No result, no success fee. Partners are compensated for delivery; we are compensated for the connection that converts. The incentive is aligned with your outcome.
Risk is screened before any introduction — mandate fit, track record, capacity to execute and client-first delivery. The partner who carries the risk carries it visibly, and all due diligence remains with them. Mariba does not hide or absorb risk; we make it visible before the connection is made.
You deal directly with the partner from the first introduction. Mariba makes the connection and then steps out of the way. All discussions, terms, due diligence and delivery are between you and the specialist.
Simply tell us what you need and share whatever standard documents you have. For solar: 12 months of utility bills, generator details if applicable, site address. For finance: basic business information, the funding amount and the purpose. For IPP: executive summary, site location, PPA structure and EIA status.
No. All funding terms, credit decisions and due diligence are the exclusive responsibility of the partner that engages with you. We connect you to the right specialist; the specialist makes the decision. No funding outcome is guaranteed.
