A business loan in India can be obtained from banks and NBFCs. Most of the banks ask for collateral for granting loans. Bargaining with banks thus becomes difficult for small businesses since they start with limited money as an investment. If we talk about loans without security (unsecured loans) which are granted by NBFCs, they are collateral free and can be disbursed in a few days.
Most NBFCs have a simple online application process, which can be completed from anywhere a business is in place.
Knowing the eligibility criteria for a small business loan without security is very important.
Although different institutions have different criteria here are some basic ones:
- Minimum Turnover should be a minimum of 15 Lakhs p.a.
- Applicant’s age should be between 21 years – 65 years.
- Business should be active for a year or more)
