Secured vs Unsecured Finance

Secured finance uses acceptable collateral and involves asset checks. Unsecured finance relies more heavily on business performance, cash flow and credit assessment.

Working Capital vs Term Loan

Working-capital facilities support operating-cycle needs; term loans generally fund a defined requirement over an agreed tenure. Suitability depends on the use of funds and repayment pattern.

Rate Factors and Application Process

The facility type, business performance, collateral where applicable, credit profile, tenure and lender policy affect pricing. Prepare consistent records, review eligibility, submit documents, complete lender verification and assess the final offer.

Common Reasons for Decline

Irregular banking, weak repayment capacity, inconsistent filings, excessive obligations, adverse credit history, incomplete records or lender sector policy may affect the decision.
