In this edition of *UGROtalks*, Anuj Pandey sheds light on the concept of cash flow lending and how it is transforming lending practices for MSMEs. As a lender, it is essential to assess a borrower’s repayment capability and intention, often seeking collateral as security. However, many small businesses lack the necessary assets to offer as collateral despite having robust business models and a loyal customer base.
Cashflow-based lending addresses this issue by analyzing a small business’s cash flows through bank statements, GST returns, and financial records to determine their ability to service the loan. While this method has proven effective, it relies heavily on subjective assessments, making scalability a challenge.
At UGROCapital, we have adopted a scientific approach to overcome this limitation. By employing machine learning and statistical models, we evaluate small businesses within the context of their respective sectors and categorize them into homogeneous clusters. This allows us to apply sector-specific statistical models, resulting in more accurate and predictable outcomes.
Through this innovative approach, we have significantly reduced the reliance on collateral and minimized the need for time-consuming subjective evaluations. This enables us to serve small businesses without any collateral to offer, fostering their growth and success.
Stay tuned for our upcoming *UGROtalks* sessions, where we will delve deeper into the new initiatives we are implementing for MSMEs. Thank you for joining us today.
