If you have dreams to start your business but just do not have the money, you can go for business loans in India. If you can sell your business plan to the banks and even meet the required criteria, then you are eligible to get loans. Apart from funding, banks also give a guarantee or issue letters of credit, on behalf of the customer, to government departments or suppliers for the procurement of goods and services on credit.
If your loan amount is too big and are turned down by a bank you need not feel disappointed. The amount of business loan sanctioned varies from bank to bank. Up to a certain limit you generally, do not have to provide any security. Beyond certain limits, you are required to provide a collateral security or a percentage of business loans as margin. This may be accepted in terms of fixed deposit with the bank. Your business loan is similar to an overdraft. It is available like a limit on current account. In this case interest is charged only on the actual amount utilized, instead of the whole amount of loan.
Types of Business Loans:
Trade Loans
If you plan to start a business or trade you can get trade loans.
The rate of interest depends upon the prime lending rate. The rate is also offered on a fixed or varying basis. If required you may need to furnish collateral security for the loan. This may in the form of mortgage of land barring agricultural land and building. Other guarantees accepted include Government Bonds, National Savings Certificates, Assignment of Life Insurance Policies, Bank’s Term Deposits, approved Shares & Bonds in the name of borrower/partner/ proprietor /director.
This kind of business loan is given to Sole Proprietorships, Partnerships and Private Limited Companies.
Fast Business Loans
If required you can also procure fast business loans. If you have a proven record you may not require long credit verifications. To get the process completed all you need is little paperwork. However, further paperwork and credit checks are needed after the money is delivered in order to close the deal on better terms.
For fast loans you need some documents. These are applicable for both Sole Proprietorship / Partnership Firm. These include:
- Proof of Identity (Copy of Sales Tax / Service Tax / VAT /Excise Registration Receipt OR Registration under Shops and Establishment Act OR PAN ID / IT Return of the Concern OR Electricity /Water / Municipal Tax Bill in the Name of the Concern OR MAPIN Card in the Name of the Concern)

dear sir,
i am a student studying in germany.i would like to start a car dealer showroom with a partner in delhi.most of the blogs says we need 2 years of experience in the business?
can you please tell me whether i will be able to get a huge loan(rs-100,00,000)within a month for my new business.i am ready to give the showroom papers as security.will i have to give any margin?
Aditya,
Mr. Aditya,
In every field it is important to gain some experience and then start the business. If you have some experience, you will not have to wonder so much and find the work experince. If you have experience, you may be in a better position to select the suplier, consumer policy, procesor, transporter etc.
It is difficult for you to get this much of amount as a loan. As far as margin is concernrd, they will definitely ask for more that 20% as the margin.
It is difficult but not impossible to get the loan so don’t lose the hope and gain some experience and then prepare a project report to get the loan.
Thank you.

hi,
Scott
I would like to know from were i will get loan for milk production business. As, bank always ask for security, but if we have security amt. we would have started the business with that amt. I don’t understand why they ask for these. Than what is the meaning of loan. Plz advice me as i have 2 lacs but i need another 2 lacs to start my business. I have read in many newspapers that govt. Has sanction 1000 ‘s of crores of rupees for agriculture field but when we apply for loan in the bank they don’t take interest in us. Why i say why. We are also very much educated and capable of running these business. But govt doesn’t support us.
Mr. AJ,
If you ask for a loan, they will ask for securities for sure. I can understand what is your problem and it is very important what you are saying. You can do one thing,
If you will start this business, you will need some shop or some kind of asset. You can place this asset as the security and start your business.
You can invest your own money in working capital and the assets you want to buy, that can be bought on loan and the assets will be on the name of the bank. You can use these assets and your security requirements will be satisfied.
Better you consult some professional or take advise from some experienced person face to face there so you can get better idea.
You can ask more questions if you are not happy with the answer.
We are always here to guide you. Please don’t lose your hope and you can get a loan for sure, 2 lakh is not a big deal for a bank and they will help you.
Thank you.
Dear Mr Wilson,
Me and my husband is running a Job Placement Consultancy from that last 4 months now. This is a kind of business where we have to be patient to get money after 90 days from the day candidate joined. What so ever money we had we have already pooled in now we don’t have any money at this situation to pay the rent and salary. However I am expecting a big amount of money in the month of March & I have one month to survive without money. I asked my husband to take Business loan as we have all the things which are needed legally to apply for a loan. The problem is that the place in rented and we don’t think any bank will give us loan on rented property. If you can please help us with the Bank name and things needed that would be a great help for us.
thanking you
Regards
