What Is a Business Loan?
A business loan is credit given by a bank or NBFC to a proprietorship, partnership, company or self-employed professional for business purposes: managing cash flow, buying stock or machinery, expanding, or refinancing. The lender assesses the business’s cash flows and the owner’s credit profile, then decides the amount, rate and tenure.
✓ Why businesses borrow
- Bridge cash-flow gaps without selling assets
- Fund inventory, machinery or expansion
- Build a credit history for the business
- Interest on a business loan is generally a deductible business expense (confirm with your CA)
Business Loan Types
The right product depends on what you are funding and what you can offer as security.
Working Capital Loan / Overdraft
Short-term funding for daily operations. Can be a revolving limit, so you pay interest on the amount used.
Term Loan
Lump sum repaid in EMIs over a fixed tenure; suited to equipment, expansion and premises.
Invoice / Receivables Finance
Funds against pending customer invoices to improve cash flow.
Machinery & Equipment Loan
Finance for buying plant, machinery or vehicles, where the asset is usually the security.
Loan Against Property
Secured by residential or commercial property; usually lower rates and larger amounts. See our Loan Against Property page.
Collateral-Free / MSME Loans
For eligible micro and small enterprises, often through government credit-guarantee schemes.

What Lenders Usually Look For
| Factor | What lenders typically check |
|---|---|
| Business vintage | Minimum period of operation; many lenders prefer one to three years of continuity |
| Turnover & profitability | Annual turnover and profit from ITR, GST returns and financials |
| Bank statements | Regular credits, healthy average balance, few cheque returns |
| Credit score | Owner’s and business’s repayment history; higher scores widen options |
| Existing obligations | Current EMIs against business cash flow (debt service coverage) |
| Collateral / guarantee | Property, assets or a credit guarantee for larger or lower-rate loans |
💡 Before you apply
Keep GST and income-tax returns filed on time, route business income through one primary account, avoid multiple loan enquiries at once and clear overdue payments. This improves your chance of a smooth approval.
MSME Classification & Schemes
Under the revised definition effective 1 April 2025, an enterprise is classified using both investment in plant and machinery and annual turnover.
| Category | Investment (up to) | Annual turnover (up to) |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | ₹2.5 crore | ₹10 crore |
| Small | ₹25 crore | ₹100 crore |
| Medium | ₹125 crore | ₹500 crore |
Eligible micro and small businesses may explore schemes such as PM MUDRA Yojana (Shishu, Kishor and Tarun categories for small non-farm businesses) and collateral-free credit under the CGTMSE guarantee. Limits and terms are revised from time to time, so we check the current position with the lender before you apply. Registering on the Udyam portal is free and widely requested by lenders.
