Factors Affecting MSME/SME Loan Eligibility Criteria

Business owners often need money at certain points to sustain during emergencies or increase their production capacity. Ideally, the business revenue should be enough to provide adequate working capital. However, an MSME loan can be an excellent funding source during low-business periods. Here’s a look at various factors measuring your SME loan eligibility:

Credit History

Loan providers always prefer loan applicants with decent credit scores. Applicants with low credit ratings often face difficulty getting the required loan. A good credit score ensures lenders timely repayment, which is the first thing they look for when evaluating loan applications. 

Cash Flow

A low cash flow indicates that your top priority would be to handle business expenses rather than loan repayments. Therefore, the best strategy is to improve your business cash flow to boost your MSME loan eligibility.

Repayment Capacity

Lenders check the applicant’s repayment capacity to ensure timely and complete loan repayment. That is why they check your bank statements, credit history, and ITR to measure your repayment capacity. 

Eligibility

You must meet the MSME loan criteria to qualify for a loan for business. These include your age, business vintage, occupation, etc. A decent credit score boosts your SME loan eligibility with the best terms and conditions. 
 

Documents

Your documents also determine your Business Loan eligibility significantly.
 

Business Age

Most lenders reject loans for businesses that are just starting. They often prefer established businesses with at least five years in the current industry. This assures business profitability and timely repayment. 
 

Debt-to-Income Ratio

Your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio largely affects your creditworthiness. Your financial obligations should be 30-40% of your monthly income. The lower the DTI ratio, the better your chances for loan approval. If this ratio is high, pay off some debt obligations to reduce it before applying for a Business Loan. 
 

Working Capital

The working capital includes a business’s assets and liabilities. Lenders evaluate your capital and assets to determine your creditworthiness and loan eligibility.

Loan Conditions

Lenders also consider various loan conditions before approving an application. These include the loan amount, repayment schedule, etc.
