FAQs

Questions SMEs
ask us

Do I need property as collateral?+

Not necessarily. We evaluate collateral flexibly — machinery, receivables, stock, or a combination can substitute for property, depending on the deal structure and your business profile.

What documents do I need to apply?+

Typically: 2–3 years of audited financials, latest GST returns, 12 months of bank statements, KYC of promoters, and business registration documents. Our team will give you a specific checklist after the initial call.

How long does the process take?+

From initial inquiry to disbursement typically takes 10 to 14 working days, depending on complexity and documentation speed. Working capital lines can often be set up faster.

What interest rates can I expect?+

Rates depend on your business profile, credit history, collateral, and deal structure. We present rates transparently in our credit proposal — no hidden charges or teaser rates that change post-sanction.

Do you lend outside major cities?+

Yes. We work with businesses across India, including Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Our co-lending facilities are specifically designed to reach underserved markets.
