Balance Transfer, as a facility proposal type for MSMEs, refers to an application submitted by a micro, small, or medium enterprise to a new lender (bank or NBFC) to take over an existing loan or credit facility from their current financial institution. The primary motivation for an MSME to opt for a balance transfer is typically to secure more favourable terms, such as a lower interest rate, a longer repayment tenure, or access to additional credit, thereby reducing their financial burden and improving cash flow. This proposal type specifically outlines the intent to shift an existing debt obligation, like a term loan, cash credit, or overdraft facility, from one financial institution to another, often consolidating multiple debts or simply seeking better overall lending conditions tailored to their business needs. It's a strategic move to optimise their debt servicing costs and enhance financial flexibility.
