It depends on profit, existing EMIs and the lender's assessment rather than turnover alone. Use our Business Loan Eligibility Calculator for an estimate based on profit and DSCR.
Many lenders prefer a personal CIBIL score of 700–750 or above for promoters. Lower scores may still qualify with security or a co-applicant, at a higher rate.
It varies by lender and loan size. Many lenders look for consistent turnover and profits over the last 1–3 years, reflected in your ITR and bank statements.
