Importance of SME & Mid Corporates
• SME & Mid Corporates are vital for growth of the country:
– Stepping stone of large enterprises
– Creating an environment for entrepreneurship
– Promotes innovation
– Provides ancillary support to the large
corporates/PSU/Govt.
– Generates employment even for uneducated class
– Helps disperse income generation outside of big cities
– Helps optimise the local resource base

Importance of SME -- India
• SME play vital role for growth of Indian economy by
contributing 45% of industrial output, 40% of exports and
employing 60 million people and creating 1.3 million jobs
every year and produce 8000 quality products.
• Public Sector Banks have been advised to achieve a
minimum 20% y-o-y growth in credit to the SME sector
• There is also special focus by RBI/Govt. for lending to
priority sector

Importance of SMEs -- Globally
• Globally, SMEs include over 90% of registered Business
Enterprises and 50-60% of Total Employment.
• In Europe, Japan and the USA, 90+% of the enterprises belong to the small business segment (<250 employees)
• Employment generated through Small businesses is more than 50% in the EU and approximately 40% in the USA
45-55% of formal SMEs in emerging markets are
unserved, 21-24% are underserved (i.e., they identify
financing as a constraint) and 16-20% do not need credit

Some Figures of Interest
• Bank lending to SMEs was Rs 5.4 trillion (one trillion equals 100,000 crore) as of January 2013. In March 2012, it was Rs 5.1 trillion. (Source: RBI)
• SMEs in India require Rs 32.5 trillion in financing
Of this 32.5 Trillion, 78 per cent comes from informal sources or is self-financed while only the remaining is met by banks and other institutions (Source: IFC)
• in 2011, 55 of the 77 commercial banks operating in the country failed to meet the RBI's target of 20 per cent growth in loans to SMEs. (Source: The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry)

SME & Mid Corporate Financing
- Borrowers Perspective

Group, ICAI Tower, BKC.
14
General Scenario
• Approx. 85% of SMEs in emerging markets suffer from
credit constraints
• Approx. 70% of all emerging-market SMEs do not use any formal credit
• This means informal sector meets their financial requirements, though at times with stringent conditions
• Nearly 23.7% of SMEs disappear in two years and nearly 52.7% of SMEs exit the market in four years due to business failure, bankruptcy, or other reasons
(Estimates IFC 2010)
BFSI & Capital Markets Study

15
• Recent global economic downturn has further aggravated the problems already existed
• Financing assumes material role in SMEs experiencing high growth prospects including opportunities for takeover
• Very few SMEs are able to finance their expansion through their Cash Flow and have to explore external sources of funding
• In credit filtration process SMEs are at a disadvantage
BFSI & Capital Markets Study
Group, ICAI Tower, BKC.
16
Issues of borrowers
• Percerption of higher risker lending by Lenders:
Lack of successful track record and small size of resources of SME and Mid-Corporates creates a perception of greater credit risk among the banks
• High Rate of Interest: Banks and other financial institutions often charge higher rate of interest compare to large corporate due to perception of higher risk of SME/start ups/Mid-Corporates
• Collateral: SMEs lack the substantial asset base (collateral) to provide as security against bank loans
– More pronounced for SMEs in the services sector
BFSI & Capital Markets Study
Group, ICAI Tower, BKC.
17
• Lower Sanction Limit: Normally sometime it has
been observed that loan amount sanctioned is less
compared to what is required by the business owners
• Bankers Rejection: Businessman feels that bankers
have rejected proposals without any proper appraisal
or investigation of potential of their business
• High Processing fees: small enterprises have to
incur more processing and transaction cost than
large firms
BFSI & Capital Markets Study
Group, ICAI Tower, BKC.
18
• Lack of Managerial Capacity: Managerial capacity to
operate the business is the other obstacle for our country. Most of the businesses' managements do not have any degree/training either from the formal institutes or vocational learning centers.
• Increase in Contingency & Provisions
• Reduce the Loan Repayment Period by Bank as compare to Project Report
• Internal Rating & Reporting
BFSI & Capital Markets Study

19
• Insufficient Working Capital Loan:-
Example:
Computation of Value of WC Requirement
Days
Debtors credit terms (does not include debtors
of Rs. 4 crore more then 90 days of credit) 90
Stock turnover 60
150
Less: Creditors Credit Term (60)
Assets Conversion Days 90
If the forecasted sales turnover is 100 crore , then the
Working Capital Requirement will be 90/365 x 100 crore
= 24.65 crore
Against the client requirement of Rs. 24.65 crore Bank
Sanctioned only Rs.22.65 crore WC Limit so shortfall of Rs.
2.00 crore and also Owner has to fund Rs. 4.0 cr of debtors
which are more then 90 days . In this Case Owner has to
arrange Totally Rs. 6 croreBFSI & Capital Markets Study

22
Role of Financial Advisor (CA)
SME promoters being technocrats, may not be finance savvy, and
hence a Financial Advisor (CA) can a play major role in success of
any project funding initiative as follows:
– Project Report
• Project feasibility and viability reports (CMA Data)
• Liasoning with financial institutions (FIs) for securing the
facilities
• Negotiating with FIs for best possible terms
• Availing specific schemes targeting SME’s/Mid Corporates
• TEV/Ratings, etc
– Location advisory for setting up unit based on incentives
– Designing capital and tax structure
– Risk management and planning hedging strategy
BFSI & Capital Markets Study

23
Project Report Contents
The Project report submitted to the bank forms the basis of banks
decision and hence the need to prepare a comprehensive
presentation including:
• Company Overview, Vision/Mission, Org Chart
• Management/Promoter Profile
• Shareholding pattern of the company
• Project Details
– About the Project
– Project Cost
» Cost of Land
» Construction and Other Setting up expenses
» Plant and Machinery
» Working Capital
– Means of finance

CIBIL Score
• Credit Information Bureau Limited is India’s first Credit
Information Company founded in August 2000.
• CIBIL collects and maintains records of an individual’s payments pertaining to loans and credit cards.
• CIBIL issues a 3-digit credit score and Credit Information Report (CIR), used extensively by banks
• CIBIL score ranges from 300 to 900 and indicates credit worthiness of the individual.
• Lenders prefer those with CIBIL score more than 700.

Techno Economic Valuation (TEV Study)
• Evaluating technical viability of a project broadly requires analysis of following parameters:
– Technical Feasibility
– Economical Feasibility
– Financial Feasibility
– Operational Feasibility
• TEV study is a risk mitigation task undertaken in respect of any industrial/commercial activity prior to decision by bank, whether to lend or not
• The purpose of TEV Study is to provide utility to the sanctioning authority to conclude at an informed judgment as regards acceptance of the project for lending (or investment) purpose and to take a view on the acceptability of risk level. .

Challenges Faced by Financial Advisor (CA)
• Remuneration and quantum of work on a proposal is not in
proportion most often
• Limited options for Direct Equity fund raising:
− Paucity of private equity investors for SMEs
− Reluctance by SME to dilute their share holding
• Promoters with less education not very effective in backing picture presented by financial advisor to bank
• Banks have multiple reasons to reject a proposal hence Financial Advisor may be hesitant to take up green-filed assignments

• Not all enterprises are professionally driven
• Average Financials,lower ability to absorbs shocks
• Low Capital Base & promoters averse to equity dilution
• Higher risk of default and late payment in SME and Mid-Corporate segments

Approach and Old method of lending
(it is still followed by to a certain extent in Co-operative and Small and Mid size PSU Banks)
• Branch client relationship plays important role
• Branch centric mode
• More based on the Gut feeling of bankers
• Many times it is time consuming
BFSI & Capital Markets Study

Approach and method of lending
Recent Trends in SME Financing Models by Bank:-
• Separate SME group in banks • Market segmentation i.e. By size, sector, turnover • Credit scoring models • Decentralisation of decision making • Parameterised products • Portfolio approach – lending programme based on
industry specific assets to control industrial exposure • Supply chain financing, • Value added service and cross selling • Technology and automation, innovative product lines • Centralised monitoring and credit and risk team • Centralised or Zone based processing like trade

54
In Conclusion..
Borrowers expect banks to be:
• Flexible in approach/operation and low cost
• Educated about all kinds of businesses
• More innovative products, personalised service & attention
Banks expect from customers:
• To submit the proper, all relevant & correct documents (financial & non financial) information alongwith proposal
• Keep bankers informed of major development
• Borrowers should keep their Financial, Accounts, Compliances and legal departments more careful
Financial Advisor’s (CA) role is to use his knowledge and experience to bridge this gap; End result should be to raise funds at a reasonable cost and ensure bank is at ease

Basic Funding Options Available
Loans can be of two types:
» FUND BASED:
Working Capital -- to cover short-term immediate cash flow needs arising from day-to-day business operations
Term Loan -- medium to long-term finance for business expansion, product diversification, renovation of business premises, or purchase of machinery
» NON-FUND BASED:
Letter of Credit – bank assures payment to a seller of goods and/or services, provided certain documents have been presented to it
Bank Guarantee -- bank assures that the liabilities of a debtor will be met. In other words, if the debtor fails to settle a debt, the bank will cover it.

In Summary – Major Problems faced
• Sole Focus on Financials: The current approach to SME lending in most
institutions is still heavily dependent on business financials- i.e. looking at
historical data to predict future creditworthiness. Typically this involves a
lot of paper work and many visits to the applicant. ( This approach has not been very successful in the SME sector to-date due to the fact that the financials
provided by the applicant are often opaque given the cash nature of business transactions and incentives to
under report income to save on taxes)
• Lack of Collateral Security: Lending in India traditionally has relied on
taking adequate collateral as a “risk mitigant” to cover the credit risks
associated with SME lending .
• Bureau Reporting: There are two kinds of credit bureau reports that can
be generated – Individual and Corporate. only CIBIL currently provides
reports, they cannot give relevant insights about an applicant who is a
first time borrower
• Selective Segmentation: leaving aside the major chunk of “small”
entrepreneurs and entities whose need for adequate finance is more
pronounced. These small entities could be major links in the supply
chains of large players. BFSI & Capital Markets Study
