Every lender weighs these differently, but these are the factors that matter most.
Many MSME loans are covered under the government's Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE) scheme, which lets eligible businesses borrow without pledging collateral, up to the scheme's current coverage limit. The guarantee fee charged on these loans is tiered by loan size and is revised periodically by the government — we confirm the current limit and fee with the lender at the time of applying rather than relying on an old figure.
Turnover alone doesn't tell a bank whether you can service a loan comfortably. Lenders look closely at your debt-service coverage, how your bank account behaves (frequent cheque bounces or overdrawn balances are red flags), your GST filing consistency, and whether your industry falls into a category the lender is cautious about. A file declined by one lender's internal policy can still be approved by another with a different risk appetite — which is where matching your file to the right lender helps.

It's possible with several NBFCs and some banks, though lenders are typically more conservative here — expect a shorter tenure than for new machinery, and financing based on an independent valuer's assessment of the equipment rather than its original price. Not every lender funds used machinery, so this is a case where matching you to the right lender matters.
A working capital loan (like an overdraft or cash credit limit) is meant for day-to-day operating expenses — stock, receivables, short-term gaps in cash flow — and is typically renewed every year. A term loan is a lump sum for a specific purpose, like buying machinery or expanding premises, repaid over a fixed tenure through EMIs. Many businesses use a combination of both.
Most lenders will ask for it if your business is required to be GST-registered, since GST returns are one of the ways they verify your actual turnover. If your business is legitimately below the GST threshold, alternative proof of turnover (bank statements, sales records) can sometimes be used instead — this varies by lender.
