*This rate of interest is arrived through the Lender’s interest rate model which takes into account relevant factors such as cost of funds, margin and risk premium. We take a comprehensive approach to the gradation of risk that does not discriminate between classes of Borrowers, but rather tailors the interest rate to each loan. The decision to give a loan and the rate of interest thereon are carefully assessed on a case by case basis, based on multiple factors which may include the Borrower’s cashflows (past, current and projected), Borrower’s other financial commitments, the Borrower’s credit record, or other financial guarantees etc. such information is gathered based on information provided by the Borrower, credit reports, market intelligence and information gathered by field inspection of the Borrower’s premises.
