Plain answers to common questions on this service, grouped by what you are trying to find out. Each answer starts with the direct reply.
Eligibility & documents
- Can a sole proprietor get a business loan without a registered company?A proprietorship can usually borrow without forming a company, provided it can show genuine operations and income. Here is what lenders look for.
- Can I get a business loan if most of my sales are in cash?Cash-heavy businesses can borrow when they can show consistent, traceable income. Learn what lenders accept and how to build that record over time.
- Who can be a co-applicant or guarantor on a business loan?Know who lenders accept as a co-applicant or guarantor, how the two roles differ in liability, and what to weigh before agreeing to either.
Process
- How do I decide the loan amount to ask a lender for?Size your request from the actual need, your own contribution and your repayment capacity, so the amount you ask for is easy for a lender to support.
- How do I check my business loan eligibility before applying?Run a short self-check on track record, banking, credit history and obligations so you approach lenders with a realistic picture of what you may qualify for.
- Why do lenders ask to see bank statements and GST returns?Bank statements and GST returns let lenders verify turnover, check consistency and judge repayment capacity. See what they read in each and why gaps matter.
- How does my personal credit score affect a business loan?Lenders often look at the owner's credit history alongside the business. See how it affects approval, terms and what you can do to improve it.
- What happens after a loan is sanctioned but before money is disbursed?Between approval and money in the account, lenders complete documentation, security creation and checks. Know the steps so you can prepare and avoid delays.
Choosing & comparing
- What is the difference between a fixed and a floating interest rate?Understand how fixed and floating rates differ in predictability and risk, so you can match the rate type to how steady your cash flow really is.
- Should I take a loan for equipment or for working capital first?Decide which gap to fund first by asking what is actually holding back your sales, and why new capacity still needs enough cash to run it.
- What is the difference between a sanctioned amount and a disbursed amount?A sanction is the lender's approval of a limit, while disbursal is the money actually released to you. Learn why the two can differ and when.
