FAQs

What are the types of Startup Business Loan?

There are two main types of Startup business loans.

One is a short term working capital loan or a line of credit – used for paying salaries, or other expenses needed to maintain the funds for the day to day running of the business. This loan may require no collateral, and give an initial interest-free period.

The other kind is an Equipment Financial Loan – which is used to fund expansion or growth. It is a longer-term loan and would require the business as collateral. It is used for purchasing heavy or expensive machinery. At SMFG India Credit, we offer collateral free business loans upto INR 75 Lakhs*. For amounts greater than that, we offer business loans that can be secured against property.

What is the maximum amount that can be availed as a Startup Business Loan?

The maximum amount of the startup business loan depends on your business, its turnover, and profitability as well as your credit history. At SMFG India Credit, we offer collateral free startup business loans upto INR 75 Lakhs*.

Is a business plan mandatory for availing of a startup business loan?

The majority of lenders will request a business plan from the founders looking to avail of a startup business loan. This enables the lender to do a deep dive into the vision of the company and how it will turn into a profitable entity within a stipulated period of time.

From the borrower’s perspective, the business plan should be detailed, stating clear objectives and targets and what the mechanism is to achieve them. The plan should also highlight the schedule of activities and how the business loan funds are going to be used.

Can you get a business loan with no revenue?

Securing a business loan with no revenue can be an upheaval task because most lenders including SMFG India Credit will require prospective borrowers to have a minimum yearly revenue and a record of stable revenues for the past 2 years in order to be eligible for a business loan in the first place. However, in the backdrop of the startup environment mushrooming all over the country, there are select investors who may extend funding to startups even if they are at a pre-revenue stage based on their assessment.
