Around 55% of India's population resides in rural and semi-urban areas, which make up the majority of small enterprises. Though they do not provide the main innovations and technological expertise, they do create many jobs.
India, which has millions of small and medium-sized businesses, is currently an emerging market in the world. These small and medium businesses account for a large amount of India's GDP growth and provide employment for a large portion of the population.
Recognizing the importance of SMEs, the government and the RBI have launched a number of small business lending schemes to assist in the growth of these industries and businesses.
According to statistics, more than 80% of small firms fail to thrive in their early stages due to a lack of finances. Small business loans to SMEs and MSMEs are an effort by the government and various institutions to assist small businesses that are experiencing financial difficulties.
Overview of the Business Loan Process
Depending on your company lender, the loan process may differ. Most lenders, on the other hand, need certain measures, such as a credit report review and application completion.
The following are the normal steps involved in a small business loan approval pipeline, according to the Small Business Administration:
- Make a Business Plan: The small business owner will almost certainly be requested to write a business plan that explains how the company runs. They could also meet with a business lender to talk about their funding requirements.
- Complete and submit the lender's loan application: The owner must fill out and submit the lender's loan application.
- The lender will analyse the application, check the business's credit report, and authorise the loan when the lender has completed the application and credit history review. If you don't fulfil the lender's company or personal credit score standards, you may be turned down.
- Lender Prepares Loan Offer: The loan documentation will be prepared by the lender.
- Finalized Loan Offer: The loan will be closed if all of the terms and conditions of the loan authorization have been met.
- Loan to Borrower: The loan proceeds will be disbursed according to the terms and conditions agreed upon.
- The Borrower Pays Off the Loan: The borrower will make payments as agreed during the term of the loan.
