Every entrepreneur aspires to turn their idea into a thriving business. But often, that dream hits a roadblock: funding. This is where the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) or Mudra loan scheme comes in.

Once submitted, the lender will assess your application and determine your eligibility for the loan.

 

Beyond Mudra Loans: Funding Options for MSMEs

There are many types of business loans for small businesses in India. While Mudra loans are a great option for many MSMEs, they may not always be sufficient to meet all your business needs. Here are some additional options to consider:

  • Unsecured Business Loans: Unsecured business loans can be a great option for businesses needing significant amounts of funds without any collateral. Lenders these days provide tailored business loans for MSMEs that can be easily availed and managed. 
  • Secured Business Loans: Secured business loans like Loan Against Property can be availed by businesses that have property to mortgage. The interest rate is typically lower in these type of loans. Secured business loans can be availed against a residential or commercial property.
