As a business owner, you may find yourself in a situation where you need a loan to help with the ebbs and flows of cash in and out of your company. We offer quick access to funding, which may help you keep your business functioning.

A business loan can be used to restructure an existing firm, purchase new equipment, grow the business, or boost the operating capital of the business. Lending Kart offers a minimum loan amount of Rs. 50,000 and a maximum credit amount of Rs. 2 crores.

  • For a Self Employed professional 

To be eligible for the loan, the professional must have the necessary skills and certifications. A list of qualifications is available online.

Doctors, engineers, chartered accountants, and management consultants must also provide confirmation of qualification.

  • For a Proprietorship firm or a limited liability partnership 

The firm must have profit and loss statements in order to fulfil the lender's minimal standards. Before approving a company loan, we evaluate the borrower's capacity to repay.

Loan Requirements for Businesses

  • Credit.

Lenders nearly always evaluate the owner's personal credit when a small business owner wants money. As a result, having a strong personal credit score is critical. Building strong credit for the company itself is also beneficial when looking for a decent business loan.

  • Income and cash flow

Lenders analyze a company's risk by looking at its debt-to-income ratio. The greater a company's cash flow and income, the better its prospects of obtaining a loan.

  • The age of commerce.

Most lenders only lend to enterprises having a track record of at least two years, making it difficult for new businesses to obtain finance.

  • Debt amount as of now.

Debt is the other component of the debt-to-income ratio. Businesses and individuals that are heavily in debt will have trouble obtaining fresh loans.

  • Collateral.

Lenders consider debt backed by valuable assets to be less risky, therefore collateral-based loans may be simpler to get and have lower interest rates.

  • Industry.

Lenders evaluate the risk of your type of business throughout the loan approval procedure. Some industries are more easily financed than others.

Loan Types

Before we get started, let's define the most popular sorts of loans available to small company owners. Our quick-and-dirty guide is below, but you can find more information on our ultimate small-business loan page.

  • Business lines of credit allow you to spend up to a particular amount and then pay interest solely on the amount spent.
  • Equipment loans assist you in paying for whatever physical item your firm need as part of its everyday operations, not simply heavy equipment.
  • Invoice factoring loans (also known as accounts receivable finance) compensate you for the value of your overdue invoices. No more waiting on slow-paying clients—the lender pays you the invoice amount (minus a charge), and then collects from your clients so you can go back to business as usual.
  • Merchant cash advances exchange a large amount for a guaranteed proportion of future sales.
  • Peer-to-peer lending is a relatively new technology that allows you to borrow money from a group of investors, generally in an online-only manner.
  • SBA-supported loans are backed by the United States Small Business Administration, making them typically dependable and low-interest loans.
  • Term loans can provide you with a large sum of cash within 24 hours but at a hefty interest rate.
  • Unsecured business loans are those that do not necessitate the use of collateral. The majority of commercial credit cards and lines of credit are unsecured loans.
  • Working capital loans provide funding for everyday operations, employee compensation, and dealing with occasional decreases in earnings.
