How to Improve Your Chances of MSME Loan Approval?
Getting an MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) loan approval requires careful preparation and understanding of the lending process. Here are some steps you can take to improve your chances of getting approved:
Maintain a good credit history
Lenders assess your creditworthiness by reviewing your credit history. Pay your bills and existing loans on time, avoid defaults or late payments, and aim to keep your credit utilization ratio low. Regularly monitor your credit report for any errors or discrepancies that need to be corrected.
Develop a comprehensive business plan
A well-prepared business plan demonstrates your understanding of your industry, market, and financial projections. Include details about your business model, products or services, target market, competition, and strategies for growth. This will help the bank assess the viability of your business and your ability to repay the loan.
Organize financial documents
Gather all the necessary financial documents, such as income statements, balance sheets, tax returns, bank statements, and cash flow projections. These documents will provide us with an overview of your business's financial health and stability.
Improve your collateral or guarantee options
If you're applying for a secured loan, such as a loan backed by collateral or personal guarantees, make sure you have valuable assets to offer. Most banks including Unity Bank prefer collateral that can be easily liquidated in case of default. Having strong collateral or additional guarantors can provide reassurance to the bank and increase your chances of approval.
Research suitable leaders
Identify lenders who specialize in providing MSME loans. Research their eligibility criteria, loan products, interest rates, terms, and requirements. Look for lenders that align with your business needs and have a track record of working with similar businesses in your industry.

Build a relationship with your bank
Approach your Unity Bank for a loan and also build a good relationship with the team. A well-established banking relationship can work in your favour, as the bank is already familiar with your needs for Savings Account / Current Account or Fixed Deposits. Cultivate a strong relationship by maintaining regular communication and keeping your accounts in good standing.
