Factors Affecting HDFC Business Loan Interest Rates

Borrowers aim to get a business loan that offers a substantial amount at low-interest rates. But every individual does not get the same rate of interest from the bank. There are various factors that a bank or financial institution examines before offering a particular interest rate for a personal loan. The factors affecting HDFC business loan interest rate are:

Nature of Business

Businesses that exhibit a positive and profiting nature are approved loans by lenders with lower interest rates. On the other hand, blacklisted businesses have a negative impact, and the loan is either disapproved or granted with a higher rate of interest.

CIBIL Score

The lenders always scrutinise your creditworthiness through your CIBIL score. A high CIBIL score means that you are responsible for your credit. Thus, you are granted a loan with a lower interest rate.

Business Experience

Before deciding on the rate of interest for a business loan, lenders also look into your business experience. A person who has a good business background with a long-running business is often offered a lower interest rate. On the flip side, if you have defaulted in the past with non-payments etc., the interest rate offered is higher.

Annual Turnover

The annual business turnover is an important factor that affects the interest rate of a business loan. A business with a high annual turnover is offered a lower interest rate with a lower EMI amount. Whereas businesses with a poor turnover will be charged a higher interest rate leading to a higher EMI amount.

Good Relationship

If you have a stable existing relationship with your bank or financial institution, then you might be offered a lower interest rate as they reward you for being their loyal customer.

Repayment History

A good repayment history and timely repayments of credit are considered a good sign by banks. So, if you have maintained these two aspects, you are more likely to get a business loan at a lower interest rate. In contrast, a poor repayment track record, even with a good CIBIL score, will be offered a higher interest rate.
