Eligibility for a business loan depends on several factors, including:
-Type of borrower: Self-employed individuals, proprietors, partnerships, start-ups, companies, traders, retailers, and wholesalers are generally eligible.
-Business profile: Lenders consider years in operation, business performance, credit history, revenue, and profitability.
Generally, both established and growing businesses can apply if they demonstrate stable operations and the ability to repay. New businesses may qualify with a strong business plan and proper documentation. Common requirements include proof of business (business registration, GST, Shop and Udyam registration etc.) financial documents (financial statements, tax returns, credit rating score etc.) It’s best to check the specific eligibility criteria set by the lender before applying.
