Tata Capital > Blog > Loan for Business > Things to Keep in Mind before Applying for a Business Loan in a Tier 2 City
It is no secret that the tier 2 cities have been emerging as the fastest-growing economies within India. While starting a business in a major city has its advantages, economic growth and opportunities in metropolises have been on the brink of saturation over the past decade. But, the tier 2 cities continue to be untapped assets of the country with the availability of land, skilled labor and ample growth opportunities.
If you aspire to start a business venture in a tier two city, you will likely apply for a loan to finance your enterprise. Here are a few things to keep in mind before availing of a business loan in a tier 2 city.
For your businessfinance application to be approved, you must have a concrete business plan. Start-ups in a tier 2 city must develop an on-ground model before approaching investors. Lending institutions have now penetrated the tier 2 cities in the country, and new credit profiling methods have been developed. Having a business plan will help potential investors decide whether investing in your venture will be fruitful.

When you begin your business in a metropolitan city, yours will be one of many such ventures and getting in the spotlight might be quite difficult. In a tier-2 city, exclusivity is the key. Therefore, start big, grab potential customers’ attention instantly, and be identified as a robust and reliable player.
So, while applying for a loan, keep in mind the expenses involved in kick starting your business. Secure a loan at reasonable business loan interest rates to stay within budget even when you grandly launch your business.
To ensure a steady flow of funds for your business, choose a business loan structure most suitable for you. Meaning, if you need a lump sum to fund your business needs, term loans should suffice. If you need a small amount of funds and are looking for a shorter repayment tenure, avail short-term loans. Personal loans and equipment loans are also good options suitable for financing a start-up. Before applying, check your business loan eligibility for the perfect loan solution to sustain your business.
Having a high credit score can fast track the borrowing process and help you secure a higher loan amount with lower interest rates. A good credit score exhibits your credibility and increases the chances of loan approval.
While starting a business, you will need excess funds for buying capital or renting factory spaces. A high credit score will help you negotiate a higher loan amount as well as lower interest rates to meet these expenses.
