The Gap:

Businesses especially in SME / MSME segment which have a majority share in the Indian Economy seek credit on a regular basis. The avenues availing such credit are banks and the NBFCs. One of the key challenges faced by for SMEs / MSMEs is getting true feedback and candid advice after analysis of the company’s financials and to enable efficient credit delivery. Typically loan cycle takes minimum of 1-2 months in the current scenario which involves extensive documentation followed by query resolution from credit assessment perspective. Due to these set of reasons, SMEs / MSMEs, prefer to bank with single institution (of comfort) rather than going to multiple institutions to avail best possible financing option.
