Earlier on, if a business had to take a loan it had to go one of two routes: the first being through a bank and the other through a wealthy entity or individual. Banks needed a certain level of security to give a loan and new startups didn’t have that. Secondly, you needed to be in touch with wealthy individuals and entities if you wanted a personal loan for your business. However, most people starting businesses don’t have access to either of these things. This is where Fintech is helping startups! It is now possible to get loans through Fintech companies that don’t need such high levels of security deposits etc. They have new means to judge whether you qualify for a loan and these loans can be dispatched in a few days. Startups can get to work faster, cheaper, and not waste time waiting for capital to come.
