Secured Loans for Businesses
Loans that are offered against an asset, collateral, or a personal guarantee are known as a secured loan. The lender can easily liquidate such kind of loans if unpaid and money can be recovered. Hence, they are termed secured loans. Typically, working capital loans, inventory loans, term loans, loan against property are termed as secured loans.
Unsecured Loans for Businesses
Business Loans that are given to a businessperson or self-employed professional without any security or guarantee are termed unsecured loans. There are various situations when a businessperson needs an unsecured loan. Some reasons could be:
Urgent business need that needs funding for a short-term so that he can meet orders and secure payments from customers.
A customer has not paid on time and as a result, the businessperson needs capital to fund their day-to-day operations for a short period of time.
Reduction of high interest-bearing loans from friends or moneylenders.
Here, we will provide information on unsecured loans. For secured loans, please visit our Loan Against Property webpage.
EMI is an abbreviation for Equated Monthly Installment. EMI is the amount a borrower has to pay every month until the tenure of the loan is over. This monthly amount to be paid is a fixed amount that is calculated using the Business EMI calculator that uses three parameters – total loan amount, interest rate and tenure of the loan (time).
Business Loan EMI Calculator is a mathematical calculation that determines the amount that a borrower has to pay the lender every month against their Business Loan. For Example: Suppose that you have taken a total loan amount of 1,00,000 for a tenure of 2 years at a rate of 14% per annum. The Business Loan EMI Calculator shall show the EMI to be 4,801.29. So, that till the end of the 24 months tenure, the borrower shall pay 4,801.29*24 = 1,15,230 + loan processing charges as applicable.
The Business Loan EMI calculator is based on the following formula:
Now the calculation for the EMI of this will be:
EMI = P x R x (1+R)^N]/[(1+R)^N-1]
Where
P is the amount borrowed,
R is the interest rate per month (a 14% per annum interest translates to (14/12) % per month), and
N is the number of monthly installments.
In this calculation, the interest amount gets calculated every month afresh since the principal amount gets decreased on each repayment. The split between the interest and the principal value for each equated monthly installment changes during the tenure of the loan. Initially, the split contains a higher component of interest and less of the principal. Gradually, as the months pass, the interest component of the EMI reduces and more principal is prepaid.
Businesses revolve around uncertainty and there is no assurance of regular cash flows in a business. Sometimes, a customer pays their dues in a day and sometimes they may pay in a month. As a result, a businessperson needs to have a clear idea of their fixed expenses so that a proper plan is put in place for paying back the loans taken. By Calculating the EMI in advance one can assess one’s payback capability and decide upon the loan amount and tenure accordingly to best manage the finances.
Business Loan Calculator that helps you compute your EMI has multiple benefits:
Uncertainty is a part of every business. Sometimes, there is a requirement of cash to fund operational needs or for business expansion. However, there may be times when the market conditions suit your business and you are able to sell more of your products or service and you get to achieve unexpected profits.
In such a scenario, it is generally thought prudent to repay the entire loan or part of the total loan undertaken by the business. We are happy to help you pre-pay the entire loan or part of the Business Loan. In case you opt for part repayment of your Business Loan (also known as pre-payment), the total borrowed amount shall reduce to the extent of pre-payment and interest shall be computed based on the lower principal amount.
You can also opt to reduce the total duration of your Business Loan keeping the EMI constant. We present various scenarios to you post pre-payment and help you choose the one that suits you the most.
Banks use multiple factors to evaluate the creditworthiness of a borrower and decide the loan amount eligibility limit for a particular borrower. At Fast Mudra, we use the following parameters to give an estimate about the loan eligibility, amount of loan and interest rate for a borrower:
| Parameters | Business Loan Eligibility Criteria |
|---|---|
| Eligible Entities |
|
| Age | 21 – 65 years |
| Loan Amount | 50,000 to 100 Crores |
| Interest Rate | 13.50% – 21% |
| Loan Tenure | Up to 5 years |
| Business Vintage | For self-employed professional – 3 years |
| For self-employed businessmen – 5 years | |
| Annual Turnover | 1 Crore and above |
| Banking Stability | 6 months and above |
| CIBIL Score | 750 or above |
| Other Eligibility Conditions | The borrower should have a self-owned house or workplace |
*The above-mentioned eligibility factors may vary from lender to lender
Eligible Age: Generally, banks consider borrowers between the age of 21 and 65 years as the eligible age for providing Business Loans
Loan Tenure: Since Business Loans are unsecured loans, they are generally given for shorter durations. Commonly, a Business Loan has the tenure of 1 to 5 years.
Income Tax Returns (ITR): A self-employed person needs to submit Income Tax Return (ITR) of previous 2 years or more to avail Business Loans. Only when a self-employed person has filed regular ITfor the past few years, banks consider them eligible for a Business Loan. Monthly income and repayment capacity of the borrower is computed by the banks based on the ITsubmitted.
Loan Amount: Depending on the requirement of the business, loan amounts of 50,000 to 100 Crores can be sanctioned. Generally, the interest rates for higher loan amounts, if sanctioned, are lower.
Business Vintage and Growth: The growth rate of a business and the quality of the businessperson running the enterprise plays a very important in deciding the eligible loan amount. Banks consider the business stability, its growth rate, and profitability of business over the years as important criteria in deciding loan eligibility. The actual criteria depend on each bank or NBFC but banks generally look for a track record of 5 continuous years of the business and prefer businesses that grow at 15%+ annually with profits for at least past 3 years. Good Business vintage and stable growth provide assurance to banks that the applicant shall repay the loan.
Banking Stability: Banks or NBFCs go through your business bank history in determining the quality of the cash flows and earnings. Banks or NBFCs check your average account balance using your bank’s transactional history to evaluate your banking stability and repayment capacity. They also evaluate your credit score and check whether any of your cheques have any abnormal history.
Revenue/ Turnover: Turnover or Revenue is the income that a business earns from the sale of its products and services. Higher the turnover, larger is the ability of the business to avail a loan. In the case of professionals like doctors, lawyers, this revenue is measured in terms of Gross Annual Receipts. In general, to be eligible for unsecured Business Loans, banks and NBFCs insist for a minimum turnover of 1 Crore. However, at times, NBFCs and banks can provide a Business Loan to a businessperson for a turnover of less than 10 Lakhs depending on the relation of the banker with the loan applicant.
A Business Loan EMI calculator has the following three parameters that determine the EMI:
Consider an example of a Business Loan for different tenures – 2 years, 3 years, 5 years for a total loan of 1,00,000 with an interest rate of 13.5% per annum. The following table gives you EMIs for various tenures:
| Loan Tenure | 2 years | 3 years | 5 years |
| EMI amount for loan amount 1 lakh at 13.50% | 4,778 | 3,394 | 2,301 |
| The total amount you pay back to the bank including principal and interest | 1.30 Lakhs | 1.49 Lakhs | 1.94 Lakhs |
| The interest you have to pay over loan tenure | 30,414 | 48,931 | 94,227 |
Thus we can observe the following things from the above table:
Higher the tenure, lower is the EMI. For 5 year loan, the EMI is 2,301 per month v/s 3,394 per month for a 3-year loan at the same interest rate. However, if we look at the total interest amount, for a 5-year loan, we pay 94,227 as interest over 5 years v/s 48,931 as interest over 3 years. For a 2 year loan, the EMI is higher – 4,778. However, the total interest that we pay is the lowest at 30,414 over 2 years. This is less than half the interest that we pay for 5-year Business Loan tenure.
EMI Schedule for a Loan is also termed as Amortization schedule. This Schedule provides a break-up of your EMI of your loan into two parts: Interest Component and Principal Component.
EMI = Interest Component + Principal Component
Since for a Business Loan, generally the EMI is constant throughout the loan tenure, the individual components vary depending on the month of the loan tenure. These components are not the same every month. During the initial days of your Business Loan, the Interest Component is very high because the outstanding loan is high.
However, eventually, during the latter tenure of the loan, the interest component is lower while the principal amount of higher. So, initial EMIs have more interest component in them. This is the reason that when you prepay your loan, you would be surprised to know that you have paid a lot of interest and very less principal and the borrowed portion of the loan is still substantial despite having paid numerous EMIs.
On average, only 17-18% of your loan is repaid in the first year of taking a five year Business Loan. This value is only 50-55% of your Business Loan until the third. Consider that you have taken a 5-year loan of 10 Lakhs and you decide to pre-pay your loan at the end of three years. You will still need to pay back 5,00,000 or more to your bank in spite of having more than half EMIs. Hence, it is very important that one properly understands the amortization table while taking a Business Loan.
Banks and NBFCs offer a facility to pre-pay your Business Loan either partially or fully subject to certain clauses. You can decide to pre-pay your Business Loan depending on the surplus cash with you. While preparing a Business Loan, you can do either of the following:
You can choose either of the above options depending on your repayment capacity and business situation.
