Business Loan Approved. Even When Banks Said No.
India's MSME credit gap is ₹30–35 trillion. Not because good businesses don't exist , because most business owners approach only one bank, get rejected for the wrong reason, and stop there.
DealPlexus works across banks, NBFCs, and government-backed schemes to find the right lender for your business profile , including options your bank's RM will never mention.
Business loans from ₹2 lakhs to ₹5 crore. Approval decisions in 48–72 hours.
A Network That Works When Banks Don't
When SBI says no, Axis says no, and HDFC says no , the reason is usually not that your business is bad. It is that you went to the wrong lenders in the wrong order with an application that was not structured for approval.

SBI, BOB, HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Bajaj Finserv, Tata Capital, IIFL, L&T, Chola, and more.

Why MSMEs Get Rejected (And How We Fix Each Reason)
The RBI's own data shows that over 60% of MSME loan applications are rejected by formal lenders. Here are the five most common reasons , and what DealPlexus does about each.
Low or no credit score
Most business owners use personal credit for business expenses. This distorts their credit profile. We separate business and personal liability in the application and identify lenders who evaluate cash flow and GST turnover instead of CIBIL score alone.
Insufficient collateral
Traditional bank loans require property or equipment as security. CGTMSE-backed loans provide credit guarantee of up to ₹5 crore without collateral. Most MSMEs have never heard of this. We qualify you for it.
Inconsistent income documentation
Self-employed income fluctuates. Banks trained for salaried borrowers reject inconsistent ITRs. We work with NBFCs that use 12-month bank statement analysis and GST returns as primary income proof instead.
Wrong loan product
A business owner needing ₹25 lakhs for inventory goes to the bank for a term loan , which requires property collateral and takes 45 days. A working capital loan against their GST invoices gets them ₹25 lakhs in 10 days at a comparable rate. We match the need to the product.
Multiple hard credit inquiries
Applying to five banks in a month drops your CIBIL score by 20–40 points and signals desperation to lenders. We run a soft eligibility check across lenders first, then submit to the two or three most likely to approve.
Five Products. Different Needs. One Advisory Team
Working capital, term loans, government schemes, NBFC options, or emergency credit , choosing the wrong product costs 2–4% more in interest. We make sure you get the right loan for your situation.

CGTMSE: Up to ₹5 crore with government credit guarantee. Most borrowers are eligible but never apply because banks don't proactively offer these.

NBFC Business Loan , For Profiles Rejected by PSU Banks

NBFCs like Bajaj Finserv, Lendingkart, NeoGrowth, Ugro Capital, and Flexi Loans approve profiles that banks decline , using alternate data like GST turnover, bank statement cash flow, and industry performance benchmarks.
Risk: Higher rates reflect higher risk. NBFCs use flexible underwriting but charge for it. Late fees and penalties are stricter than banks.
Cost: 16%–28% p.a. depending on profile and loan amount. Fintech lenders at the higher end. Established NBFCs more competitive.
Timeline: 5–10 working days. GST and bank statement-based underwriting. Faster than banks. Some offer 24–48 hour emergency credit.
Suited for: Businesses rejected by banks. Lower credit scores (620+). Newer businesses. High-growth startups. Strong cash flow but weak documentation.

Risk: Emergency borrowing often at higher rates. Can create debt cycle if not managed. Should be bridge financing, not long-term solution.
