class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banks and NBFCs charge an interest rate on the principal amount or the outstanding loan amount. In other words, you pay the interest amount as an extra payment above the principal amount. Lenders assess your loan eligibility, risk-taking capacity, source &amp; stability of incomes, and accordingly set interest rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interest rates are of two types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simple_Interest_Rate\"><\/span>Simple Interest Rate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a straightforward calculation of chargeable interest after considering the annual interest rate, amount of money borrowed, the timeline for repayment, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formula: Principal * Annual Interest Rate *Loan Tenure in Years<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Compound_Interest_Rate\"><\/span>Compound Interest Rate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compound interest recalculates repayment of the business loan on a monthly basis. The borrower pays interest on interest at compound rates of business loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interest rate is the fundamental component of the business loan that decides the amount of money a borrower is supposed to pay monthly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Annual_Percentage_Rate_APR\"><\/span>Annual Percentage Rate (APR)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Annual Percentage Rate is the cumulative cost of a business loan. It includes consideration of fees, charges, and all the applicable rates along with interest rates. Lenders use APR to assess the total cost of ending a business loan. APR calculates annual rather than monthly interest rates. You can consider this a financial charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interest rates and APR both provide a basic calculation of rates to be charged upon the total loan amount. Lenders decide EMI and total loan amount based on these two mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/everything-to-know-for-businesses-about-interest-waiver-for-a-moratorium-by-the-government\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/everything-to-know-for-businesses-about-interest-waiver-for-a-moratorium-by-the-government\/\">Everything To Know For Businesses About Interest Waiver For A Moratorium By The Government<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factor_Rate_of_Interest\"><\/span>Factor Rate of Interest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Factor Rate is used for short-term loans and cash advance payments. It is also known as buy rate and generally charges in decimals such as 1.2, 1.4, etc. To derive the factor rate for the short-term business loan repayment rate, you can easily multiply the loan amount by the factor rate to determine the repayment amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example: If you are taking a short-term business loan of 1 lakh INR at a factor rate of 1.35 percent, you can simply multiply 1,00,000*1.35 and get a total repayment amount of 1,35,000 INR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Factor rates are comparatively expensive variants of loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/how-to-get-items-at-the-best-rates-for-your-kirana-shops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/how-to-get-items-at-the-best-rates-for-your-kirana-shops\/\">How To Get Items At The Best Rates For Your Kirana Shops<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Charges_with_Business_Loans\"><\/span>Charges with Business Loans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banks and NBFCs charge different types of charges for business loans. Along with business loan interest rates, lenders charge several other charges and fees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Origination_Fees\"><\/span>Origination Fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banks and NBFCs charge an upfront fee to process a new business loan application, known as origination fees. Lenders treat this fee as compensation against the application and processing of the business loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Origination fees include the cost of opening a new business loan account, while administrative expenses include phone calls, emails, interviews, and data entry. Lenders decide the charges as per their internal terms &amp; conditions and hence vary from one lender to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Business_Loan_Application_Fees\"><\/span>Business Loan Application Fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditional business loan processing involves a lot of paperwork where you visit the bank branch, submit documents, visit multiple times to finally get approval and disbursal of the business loans. It includes credit score checks, background verification, workplace or a property inspection, etc. Usually, Banks and NBFCs charge between 2.5 to 3 percent of the principal amount as the application fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Application fees are one-time upfront charges and are not refundable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guarantee_Fees_for_Business_Loans\"><\/span>Guarantee Fees for Business Loans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Borrowers pay a sum of security money for a mortgage-backed loan, and lenders charge guarantee fees to shield against the risk of default and NPA. Banks and NBFCs bear the cost of processing and administrative expenses for the business loan application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The arrangement could be a fraction of the loan amount or any other mutually decided between borrower and lender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/factors-to-consider-when-evaluating-a-business-loan-offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/factors-to-consider-when-evaluating-a-business-loan-offer\/\">Factors To Consider When Evaluating A Business Loan Offer<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Late_Payment_Charges\"><\/span>Late Payment Charges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you delay payments post the scheduled date for EMI payments, lenders can charge late payment fees or around 2 percent monthly. The percentage is significant, especially if we calculate annually, that is 24 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a business loan borrower, you should always avoid late payment charges because it will create an unwanted financial burden for the next month, and it will keep increasing monthly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Online_Convenience_Fees\"><\/span>Online Convenience Fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We should also consider charges applicable online because digital lending has become a significant mode for business loan application and disbursal. If you are applying for a business loan online, you are liable to pay online processing charges, convenience fees, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lenders provide a user ID and password to each loan applicant. You can check the status on the official website or application on any digital device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prepayment_Penalty\"><\/span>Prepayment Penalty<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banks and NBFCs charge a prepayment charge if you close the loan account before its tenure ends. You foreclose the business loan after paying the outstanding amount in one payment. Several banks have made it nil or negligible in recent years, especially to improve the financial market morale during and after the Corona pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose to foreclose after consideration of pending EMIs, interest amount, and tenure. If profitable, foreclose the business loan account, otherwise continue as scheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also Read:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/follow-these-steps-to-get-the-most-out-of-your-business-loan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Follow These Steps to Get the Most Out of Your Business Loan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Underwriting_Charges\"><\/span>Underwriting Charges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Underwriter assesses your business loan eligibility and curates an offer that covers the interest of the lender and borrowers.

It is also known as buy rate and generally charges in decimals such as 1.2, 1.4, etc. To derive the factor rate for the short-term business loan repayment rate, you can easily multiply the loan amount by the factor rate to determine the repayment amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example: If you are taking a short-term business loan of 1 lakh INR at a factor rate of 1.35 percent, you can simply multiply 1,00,000*1.35 and get a total repayment amount of 1,35,000 INR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Factor rates are comparatively expensive variants of loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Charges_with_Business_Loans-2\"><\/span>Charges with Business Loans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banks and NBFCs charge different types of charges for business loans. Along with business loan interest rates, lenders charge several other charges and fees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Origination_Fees-2\"><\/span>Origination Fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banks and NBFCs charge an upfront fee to process a new business loan application, known as origination fees. Lenders treat this fee as compensation against the application and processing of the business loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Origination fees include the cost of opening a new business loan account, while administrative expenses include phone calls, emails, interviews, and data entry. Lenders decide the charges as per their internal terms &amp; conditions and hence vary from one lender to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Business_Loan_Application_Fees-2\"><\/span>Business Loan Application Fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditional business loan processing involves a lot of paperwork where you visit the bank branch, submit documents, visit multiple times to finally get approval and disbursal of the business loans. It includes credit score checks, background verification, workplace or a property inspection, etc. Usually, Banks and NBFCs charge between 2.5 to 3 percent of the principal amount as the application fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also Read:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/importance-of-accessibility-in-getting-quick-business-loans\/\" target=\"_blank\">Importance of Accessibility In Getting Quick Business Loans<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Application fees are one-time upfront charges and are not refundable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guarantee_Fees_for_Business_Loans-2\"><\/span>Guarantee Fees for Business Loans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Borrowers pay a sum of security money for a mortgage-backed loan, and lenders charge guarantee fees to shield against the risk of default and NPA. Banks and NBFCs bear the cost of processing and administrative expenses for the business loan application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The arrangement could be a fraction of the loan amount or any other mutually decided between borrower and lender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Late_Payment_Charges-2\"><\/span>Late Payment Charges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you delay payments post the scheduled date for EMI payments, lenders can charge late payment fees or around 2 percent monthly. The percentage is significant, especially if we calculate annually, that is 24 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a business loan borrower, you should always avoid late payment charges because it will create an unwanted financial burden for the next month, and it will keep increasing monthly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Online_Convenience_Fees-2\"><\/span>Online Convenience Fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We should also consider charges applicable online because digital lending has become a significant mode for business loan application and disbursal. If you are applying for a business loan online, you are liable to pay online processing charges, convenience fees, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lenders provide a user ID and password to each loan applicant. You can check the status on the official website or application on any digital device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prepayment_Penalty-2\"><\/span>Prepayment Penalty<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banks and NBFCs charge a prepayment charge if you close the loan account before its tenure ends. You foreclose the business loan after paying the outstanding amount in one payment. Several banks have made it nil or negligible in recent years, especially to improve the financial market morale during and after the Corona pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose to foreclose after consideration of pending EMIs, interest amount, and tenure. If profitable, foreclose the business loan account, otherwise continue as scheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Underwriting_Charges-2\"><\/span>Underwriting Charges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Underwriter assesses your business loan eligibility and curates an offer that covers the interest of the lender and borrowers. The process checks the creditworthiness, repayment capacity of the loan applicant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The underwriting mechanism may take a couple of hours to a few weeks, depending upon your profile, company\u2019s financial situation, capital cushion, etc. Underwriter analyses your loan eligibility based on credit score, income (Salary or Business income), existing loans &amp; liabilities, collateral, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion-2\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banks and NBFCs charge different business loan interest rates and fees for loan processing and approval.
