What is a Business Loan Interest Rate?

Every business needs funds for growth, expansion, digitalisation, and sometimes to meet operating costs. In such situations, a business loan can prove helpful. It is a financing option that enables companies to expand or meet their current business demands, such as machinery purchase, staff expansion, and working capital requirements. In return, you pay the interest rate on the borrowed money over a set period.

However, before availing of a business loan, you must know all about different types of SME business loan interest rates, charges, and the factors that determine your business loan rate of interest.

At Hero FinCorp, we offer the most competitive and cost-effective interest rate on a business loan in India. Depending upon the various factors and risks involved in lending, our business loan rates go up to a maximum of 30%. In addition, we let you choose between the two types of small business loan percentage rates - fixed and floating. So, do know the interest rate on a business loan, before you apply for it.

How to Calculate Interest on Business Loans?

To calculate your unsecured business loan interest rates, you can use two methods—the flat rate method or the diminishing rate method.
 

  • Flat Rate Method

    Under this, the interest rate for a business loan is computed on the initial business loan amount. Regardless of how many instalments you have paid, it does not consider the outstanding principal amount. To calculate the business loan low rate through this method, use the formula below:
    Interest Payable = (Principal Amount х Interest Rate х Repayment Term) / 100
     

  • Diminishing Rate Method

    Under this, the rate of interest for a business loan is calculated on the outstanding balance and not the entire initial loan amount. To calculate the business loan interest rate using this method, use the following formula:
    EMI = P x r x (1+r) n / (1+r) n-1
    Where,
    P stands for the loan amount
    R stands for the interest rate
    N means maximum tenure for business loan

Factors Affecting Small Business Loan Interest Rates in India

Some of the common factors that impact the business loan rates in India are:

Nature of Your Business

If you run a seasoned or speculative business, then it can negatively impact your application for a business loan with a low interest rate. However, there is a lending sector classification, and if you fall under the priority sector lending category, you can easily acquire a business loan with the lowest interest rate. Due to the risk involved, the non-priority sector receives a higher interest business loan.

Business Existence

As the experience grows, the risk associated with running a business decreases. Therefore, if you have spent more years in your existing business, you have a better chance of securing a low interest business loan.

Business Turnover and Revenue

Interest on business loans in India is also influenced by how well your business is doing. You are more likely to obtain the lowest business loan interest rate if your company has a high annual turnover and generates adequate revenue. When approving a loan, we consider your company's net earnings after paying all the business expenses.

Business Cash Flow

As most business loans are unsecured, we assess the company's liquidity status. Businesses that are struggling to maintain a healthy cash flow are less likely to be approved for low-interest business loans than those that have sufficient cash on hand.

Credit History

This is, without a doubt, one of the most important factors affecting your business loan approval and interest rate. If you have defaulted on any of your previous debts or are not disciplined in your EMI payments, the chances of your loan being approved would be slim. And if you manage to get your loan sanctioned, you are most likely to pay a higher interest rate.

How to Reduce Business Loan Interest Rates and Charges?

By implementing these strategies, you can save money on your business loans and improve your business's financial performance. Take a good look at them before you decide.
 

Improve Credit Score

Maintain a good credit score by making timely payments and managing existing debts responsibly. A higher credit score can lead to best business loan interest rates.
 

Negotiate with Lenders

Engage in negotiation with lenders to secure lower interest rates and reduced charges. Provide strong financial statements and a solid business plan to strengthen your bargaining position.
 

Opt for Collateral

Offering collateral can lower the risk for lenders, leading to reduced business interest rate and charges.
 

Maintain a Strong Financial Profile

Demonstrate a healthy cash flow, stable revenue, and good business prospects to convince lenders of your creditworthiness, potentially resulting in better loan terms.
 

Prepay or Refinance

Consider prepaying a portion of the loan or refinancing to secure a lower interest rate if feasible and cost-effective.
 

Maintain a Positive Banking Relationship

Build a strong relationship with your bank by maintaining regular deposits, fulfilling loan obligations, and utilising other banking services. This may make them more inclined to offer favourable rates.
