  1. Tell us what you need

    What the money is for, the amount, and how the business has been doing.

  2. We look at the business

    Your statements, returns and running loans, set against what lenders ask for.

  3. Gather the documents

    We give you the list for your firm and check each file before it goes to a lender.

  4. The lender assesses

    Mostly a credit check and a look at the business's cash flow.

    If the lender agrees, it sets the terms and you sign.

  6. Disbursement

    The lender releases the money to the business account.

Common questions

Do I need to give property as security?

Usually not. Banks may not take collateral on loans up to ₹20 lakh to micro and small enterprises, and many business loans go beyond that without it.

My business is new. What then?

Lenders usually want a few years of record. A new unit may fit Project Loan better.

Does Nayaasa approve the loan?

No. Nayaasa is a loan advisor, not a lender. The final decision and the terms are the lender's.
