Did you know that micro-small-medium enterprises (MSMEs) in India contribute to 30% of our nation’s GDP? Are you an MSME entrepreneur who wants to expand your business to new heights? Then, availing an MSME loan can be a great option for you to get on the right track. MSME loans are a great way for micro or small business owners, women MSME business owners, or startup entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. MSME Loans provided to small businesses can be used for various purposes such as purchasing raw materials or stock, hiring more workers, business renovations, adding a new product line, and other business-related expenses.
MSMEs hold an economically dominant position in the growth and development of the Indian economy. The MSME sector in India, which owns more than 63 million MSMEs, has consistently contributed to our economy by employing 111 million skilled and semi-skilled labour.
Despite being the backbone of the Indian economy, MSMEs are hampered by financial constraints due to the lack of access to traditional financing. According to an article published on swarajyamag.com, MSMEs in India confront a significant credit gap, which is around Rs 20–25 trillion. A credit gap is defined as the difference between the existing supply of funds in the economy and the addressable demand of funds in the market.
NBFCs have become the engines of growth, minimising the credit gap by enabling MSMEs fast access to capital. Due to their reach, use of technology and lower cost of operations, NBFCs are seeing a higher credit growth than the commercial banking sector. According to an article on Financial Express, NBFCs loan portfolios grew by more than 10 per cent in the last financial year (2021), whereas bank loans rose by just 5 per cent. Around 11.3 million MSMEs have taken collateral-free loans (from NBFCs) worth Rs 2.32 lakh crore till June 2022.
Fintech NBFC Kinara Capital has been driving the financial inclusion of MSMEs for over a decade by providing collateral-free MSME Loans in 100+ cities in India.

Before applying for Business Loans from Kinara Capital, make sure you meet the prerequisite requirements listed below:
MSME Loan interest rates can vary depending on the purpose and tenure of the loan, as well as the lender’s policy and the borrower’s credit history. Kinara Capital’s interest rates start at 24% per annum, and the interest is calculated on a reducing rate basis. That means your outstanding loan amount goes down with repayments and interest. Over the long term, this will reduce your EMI and make the repayment easy and affordable.
Traditional lenders like banks have a long and tedious application process and require extensive documentation for issuing an MSME loan. This is mostly because such lenders are risk-averse and consider small businesses to be high-risk borrowers who are more likely to default. On the other hand, Kinara Capital has proprietary data-led processes to determine creditworthiness and can therefore offer a quick and flexible loan process requiring minimal documentation. To apply for a Business Loan from Kinara Capital, you will need the following documents:
You will have to provide proof of the company’s existence. This may be presented as water or electricity bills, Udyam Registration, Company registration, the PAN card of your business, etc.
You need to provide your proof of identity as well. This can be fulfilled by Aadhar card, PAN card (personal), Driver’s License, Passport, etc. While Kinara recommends PAN or Aadhaar, your co-applicant can instead provide Voter ID, Driver’s License, or Passport.
Finance-related documents include bank statements, profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, passbooks, account statements etc. If you have GST, then you will have to submit your GST filings.
Kinara Capital has a quick MSME Business Loan process. After the initial application process and approval, a loan can be disbursed within just 24-hours. You can get started with an MSME Loan eligibility check on our website or by downloading myKinara App. If you are eligible, a Kinara Loan Officer will contact you for the rest of the process. Our documentation process is flexible and allows for substituting certain documents with others, subject to availability.
The MSME sector contributes largely to the nation’s industrial output and employment. Therefore, there is a larger need for business financing in this industry. One of the main barriers to MSME expansion in India is a lack of timely financing. However, due to the emergence of non-banking financial companies like Kinara Capital, MSMEs can access capital faster. This Business Loan can be used in three effective ways.
Adequate working capital is essential for every business to function efficiently. A Working Capital Loan allows small business owners to meet all regular business expenses, such as purchasing raw materials, paying wages, renovating premises, etc.
Small business owners can use Kinara’s Unsecured MSME Asset Purchase Loans to buy new or second-hand machinery and enhance their business productivity and product quality to increase their turnover. Since the cost of investing in equipment and machinery is high, an MSME Asset Purchase Loan up to Rs. 30 lakhs can be used for growing your business efficiently.
Inventory management is essential as the profitability of a small firm depends on the volume of sales. Most companies who apply for Small Business Loans utilise the money to buy inventory. So, use the money from your MSME Loan to secure your supply chain for inventories, buy fresh product samples for sale, replenish existing stock, or manage seasonal dips.
EMIs are a breakdown of your loan amount into financial units payable each month. Each EMI includes a component of the principal amount and the interest incurred. Therefore, flexible EMI schedules offered by Kinara Capital can help you repay your loan by breaking it down into small monthly instalments.
The EMI calculation of MSME Loans can be done through a simple formula, that is:
E = P x r x (1+r)n/(1+r)n-1
In this,
‘E’ denotes EMI
‘P’ is the loan amount
‘r’ represents the monthly interest rate offered
‘n’ stands for the duration of the loan
This formula is digitally represented in our MSME loan EMI calculator, which allows you to determine your estimated EMI amount online easily.
MSME Loans are Business Loans that provide growth to the various MSMEs in the country. These loans can be procured for a variety of reasons depending on the needs of the entity.

The term MSME is most commonly used in India because the ‘micro’ sector comprises over 95% of all MSMEs, accounting for over 630 lakh micro-enterprises in India.
Kinara Capital can take you from the start of the application to digital disbursement within 24-hours where the funds are deposited directly into your bank account. However, often, MSMEs prefer to receive doorstep customer service, which can add a couple of extra days to the verification process.
