This is a guest post by Mr. Ramesh Babu of Krishika Financial & Investment Services (click to visit website).

Why should an Entrepreneur borrow Money?

If your product/service is established and your business is generating profits, a proven way to increase your revenue and reduce your costs is to scale up. Loans offer a quick way to expand your working capital.

Loans are not only for small businesses, even large companies like Reliance, TVS, etc. take loans. It helps them achieve economies in scale and capture new markets effectively.

What are the other opportunities for Bank Loans in the current interest rate scenario?

  1. Informal loans availed at a high-interest rate from non-banking sources can be repaid through a bank loan at a low-interest rate.
  2. Home loans availed at higher interest rates can be repaid through new loans at lower interest rates from other banks.

How to Check your Loan Repayment Capacity?

If your Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) is more than twice the amount of interest that has to be paid on the loan, you will have sufficient margin of safety even if there are fluctuations or ups & downs in sales. In this case, you can opt for the loan.

There are other factors to evaluate like your Overall Debt Servicing ability being More than Two, etc. which a good financial consultant would be able to assess and tell you.

What are the types of Loans one can avail from a Bank?

Broadly there are two types of Loans – Secured Loan & Unsecured Loan.

Secured Loan is obtained by giving your property as collateral for the loan. This is called loan against property or mortgage loan. Advantage of secured loan is a lower rate of interest (Around 9.5% to 10.25%). This reduces your average cost of funds and improves your cost competitiveness. So your capacity to compete in the market will be better.

Unsecured Loan is suitable for people who cannot give collateral. Bank assess your creditworthiness based on specific pre-defined criteria and gives loan. For Unsecured loan, the rate of interest is higher and starts from around 15%. Although the interest may be high, Unsecured Loan might still be beneficial in case of certain businesses that have the potential for high growth.

Why do you need a good Financial Consultant to obtain Loans?

  • A good financial consultant should have contacts at all levels in banks. That way it’s easier to establish credibility which is important for loans.
  • Should be knowledgeable and experienced enough to help you choose the right bank & the right type of loan.
  • Should be able to structure the loan proposal suitably and submit all the required papers in a convincing and timely manner.
  • Should be able to fetch a lower rate of interest for the loan.
  • Should be able to pitch-in strongly on behalf of the applicant and save as much time as possible for them as it would involve multiple meetings with bank officials to get the loan sanctioned.

    There are other accounting, finance and purchase policies as well in India.

    Anyone can indent a request for purchase. Anyone can take a risk like adding transport cost extra etc and get a financial bill passed.
