    More NBFCs and some banks will lend, especially with steady turnover.

    A 650 score attracts rates around 18–26% p.a. from NBFCs and select banks. Business vintage (typically 2–3 years), GST filings, and average bank balances heavily influence the sanctioned amount.

    Next step: At 650, keep both your personal repayments and business cash flows clean. Reaching 700+ shifts you toward bank lending and materially lower business-loan rates.

    How to improve your CIBIL score

    Whatever your score today, the fundamentals are the same. Steady, consistent habits are what move a CIBIL score — there is no legitimate shortcut.

    • Pay every EMI and credit-card bill on or before the due date — payment history is the single biggest factor.
    • Keep credit-card utilisation under 30% of your total limit.
    • Avoid multiple loan or card applications in a short window — each triggers a hard enquiry.
    • Keep your oldest credit card active to preserve a long credit history.
    • Check your report regularly and dispute any genuine errors that drag your score down.
