Trends Transforming Online Business Lending

India’s focus on digital transformation in the last few years coupled with other path-breaking efforts such as the Jan Dhan Yojana and the Direct Benefit Transfer scheme by the government has opened up vast space in the business of lending more specifically in the business lending space. The digital push by the government and Corporate India have made sourcing of funds relatively easy today, small-time entrepreneurs can now hope to secure funds to develop their businesses.

Know More

All lenders have adopted online technologies to pass on the benefit to the borrowers exponentially. Borrowers today can look up to quick processing of loan applications, quick due diligence and quick disbursal.

The lending to business borrowers is gaining momentum because of several trends. We list the following 8 trends that will transform the business lending space.

1. Governments’ push towards the inclusion of all strata of society in building India’s economy

The governments at the centre and states have launched various schemes such as Skill India, Make in India, Startup India and Standup India. These schemes encourage aspiring entrepreneurs to start their own businesses. Lenders have a captive audience to cater to.

2. Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC) Technologies will Drive SME businesses

Lenders are adopting various cutting edge technologies such as Internet of Things, blockchain, machine learning and artificial intelligence to harness their power to fine tune their loan offerings to borrowers. These are also available to borrowers who can leverage these technologies to improve their businesses in terms of both top line and bottom line numbers.

3. Many Unconventional Financial Technology Companies are Sprouting

The financial industry is seeing the emergence of new forms of financial institutions using technology as a base known as financial technology companies (Fintech). Fintech companies use technology to collect data from businesses to analyze rapidly and transparently to enable business owners to avail funds quickly. Fintech companies take away the burden of cash flows from the business owners allowing them to focus on improving their businesses. Such type of funding is also known as alternate funding.   

4. E-commerce is Helping Businesses to Grow

The traditional brick and mortar store is beginning to adopt the E-commerce route and by one estimate about half of the businesses are already embracing Ecommerce. The growth of E-commerce and the availability of professional logistics have increased the reach of small businesses to encompass the whole of India and in some cases globally.

5. Regulatory Framework to Streamline Fintech Companies 

Fintech companies will need to comply with regulatory mechanisms created by statutory authorities. The exposure to KYC system and Aadhaar authentication will hasten the smooth transition to a transparent system reducing the scope for frauds and misuse.

7. GST Implementation Allows Pan India Market

Prior to GST, businesses had to face hurdles of incidence of a variety of statutory levies when they wanted to sell products and services to other states. The statutory levies included VAT, service tax, excise, cess, luxury tax, entry tax and Octroi besides central sales tax. Each state had its own rates and conducting businesses out of state was acutely cumbersome telling on the operational efficiency of the businesses as they had to store and maintain huge amount of records. With GST, all the statutory levies get subsumed into CGST, SGST and IGST calling for lesser number of records. The GSTN network took care of the storage and maintenance of records once the businesses entered the basic transactions on to the system. With this, businesses can become more competitive as there is a level playing field. The earlier reticence in conducting business out of state is no longer there. Businesses would want to expand into the all India market thus leading to business expansion.           

8. Robust Digital Infrastructure with India Stack

The creation of a set of APIs under the India Stack initiative allowing various stakeholders including businesses, developers, startups and governments to provide services that are cashless and paperless is driving the Fintech companies in a big way.    

Financial institutions such as banks and NBFCs such as Tata Capital are at the forefront of lending to a vast spectrum of borrowers who need funds for acquiring a home, an automobile, pursuing higher education or starting or expanding a business. To help medium and small businesses, Tata Capital has tied up with Fintech companies such as Capital Float to offer working capital loans to business owners and Biz2Credit to offer finance to small businesses. These are online resources that provide services in an effortless manner.
