Businesses take long-term business loans to cover their immediate business-related expenses or to fund their expansion plans. Such loans are typically paid off by the borrowing businesses over many years. The main reason why businesses go for such a loan is because after getting one, they will have to pay a lower amount as Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs) to repay it.
Despite the convenience on offer, lenders set up certain eligibility criteria that borrowers must fulfil to avail of the loan. Read on to learn the eligibility criteria for availing a business loan on Bajaj Markets.
