Flexi Loans are an ideal way to finance your business needs: short-term and long-term. You can avail them for equipment and/ or working capital financing, expansion of premises, and others.
What is a Flexi Loan?
Flexi Loan is a facility where the borrowing company is approved for a loan limit, for a pre-decided tenure. You can withdraw as you need, without utilising the whole amount. The interest is applicable only on the utilised loan amount. This is a unique feature that sets it apart from the traditional business Term Loans.
Flexi Loan: pay interest only on the used loan amount
The interest is applied on the utilised loan amount for the Flexi Loan. In a business Term Loan, the interest is applicable on the whole loan amount, irrespective of the amount utilised. This is one aspect that makes the EMIs of Flexi Loan lower.
Illustration: Suppose that a flexi business loan amount is taken for Rs. 25 lakh at a yearly rate of 16% and only Rs. 10 lakh is utilised. The interest will be applicable only on Rs. 10 lakh. If the loan is for 4 years, then the total interest amounts to Rs. 6,40,000.
In the case of a business Term Loan, the interest would have been applicable to the whole of Rs. 20 lakh. The interest for a tenure of 4 years would be Rs. 12,80,000.

|---|---|---|
| Loan amount (Rs.) | 10,00,000 | 10,00,000 |
| Interest rate | 16% | 16% |
| Tenure |
48 months | 48 months |
| Monthly cash flow / EMIs (Rs.) | 28,340 |
13,333 |
