The Indian MSME sector, the lifeblood of our economy faces a familiar challenge: access to credit. Traditional methods rely heavily on credit history, a hurdle for young businesses. Here’s where Craft Silicon’s Nimble Business Loan Origination System steps in, offering a powerful solution with industry-specific cash flow analysis to revolutionize MSME lending in India.
Imagine Ravi, a chaiwallah at the end of the street busily brewing tea/coffee in his shop. He looks to get a business loan to expand his tea shop into a coffee café. While Ravi lacks a long credit history, his consistent customer flow and daily sales paint a clear picture of his cash flow potential. Nimble empowers lenders to go beyond basic credit history. They can configure a custom cash flow analysis template specifically designed for chaiwalas. This template might include questions like:
- Daily Sales: How many cups of tea, coffee, Horlicks do you sell in the morning, afternoon, and evening?
- Pricing: What’s the cost per cup?
- Operational History: How many days per month do you operate?
Nimble then gathers Ravi’s responses and combines them with industry benchmarks to generate a customized cash flow forecast. This forecast considers seasonal fluctuations and peak hours, providing a clearer picture of Ravi’s earning potential.
Nimble empowers lenders (banks and NBFCs) with the tools they need to thrive in the new era of MSME lending
- Configurable Cash Flow Analysis: Nimble allows lenders to design industry-specific cash flow analysis templates. These templates capture the unique income and expense structures of different MSME sectors (e.g., chaiwalas vs. tailors vs grocery shop owner).
