Sberbank small business loan from scratch calculator. Possible reasons for refusal. Loan for individual entrepreneurs with zero reporting

Of all the loans, it is the most difficult to obtain a loan for the creation and promotion of a small business. Individual entrepreneurs (hereinafter referred to as individual entrepreneurs) and private individuals running their own business are among the clients that banks least trust. Getting a loan to develop a small business from scratch is really difficult. And this situation is explained quite simply. If, when taking a mortgage on an apartment, you need to convince the bank that you have a stable average income that will definitely not disappear in the next eight years, then everything is much more complicated with a small business. Here, after all, the potential profitability, profitability, reliability, and survival of this business in the conditions of a shaky Russian economy act as a guarantee of the return of funds to the bank. The only additional security is a pledge of some valuable property of the borrower.

Even in developed countries (USA, Western Europe), economists give a maximum of 20% to the next small business project. This is the probability that the business will survive and not go bust. And in the Russian Federation, this indicator is 2-3 times less for a whole range of reasons. Here banks are not eager to give money to people who then, very possibly, will become bankrupt. However, there are certain schemes of interaction with credit organizations for novice businessmen. Let's consider them.

Step-by-step instructions for obtaining a business loan from scratch


As an example, it is worth studying offers from the main and largest bank of the Russian Federation in the civilian market. We are talking about Sberbank. He works with all types of business clients - individual entrepreneurs, private entrepreneurs, CJSC, LLC. However, before going to the bank, you should prepare in advance on three main points, without which it is almost impossible to get a loan to start a business from scratch.

  1. Preparation of a business plan. A novice entrepreneur must create his own plan, project. This is the start of any business. By the way, regardless of the level (small, medium, large). A businessman or businesswoman determines the main tactical (short-term) and strategic (long-term) directions for the development of a future company. A quantitative (technological, production) and qualitative (complication of the structure of the enterprise, advanced training of employees) analysis is carried out. The volumes of production, the ratio of potential costs and profits are calculated, the conjuncture of the market sector in which the business will operate is analyzed. The staff is also analyzed. A business plan tells investors whether or not to invest in a given business. And the bank too.
  2. Franchise definition. If a future individual entrepreneur comes to the bank and says that he wants to open his own independent enterprise, which will be called so-and-so, he will most likely be denied a loan. A franchise is a brand, it is a kind of licensing, it is a certain business model. For example, McDonald's is a franchise. Or Coca-Cola. Or Microsoft. But such franchises are worth billions, because the business under their auspices guarantees a corresponding profit. A beginner IP has to choose from a list of much more affordable options. Moreover, it is desirable that franchise companies are associated partners of the bank where the client is going to take a loan. At Sberbank, these are Harat's and a number of other companies that sell relatively inexpensive franchises.
  3. And, of course, you should not go to the bank, as they say, "naked", without the possibility of collateral. Of course, it happens that the future individual entrepreneur has nothing but a business plan and a desire to start working as soon as possible. But as already mentioned, financial institutions are extremely cautious in issuing money to small businesses. It's great when a client owns some kind of real estate or other valuable property (a car of an average price category, for example). Then you can register this property as collateral. The institution will know that in the event of a business failure, all or most of the money issued will be returned through the sale of the client's collateral. Those who have nothing will have to at least find funds for the down payment, which is high in business lending (almost always at least 30%).

So the preparation is complete. I'm going to Sberbank. Here the procedure is as follows:

  1. Filling out a questionnaire, where, in addition to basic information, a desire is expressed for a small business from scratch.
  2. Choice of credit program. It is necessary to choose a special program "Business Start".
  3. Passage of registration in the tax service as an individual entrepreneur.
  4. Collection of all necessary documentation. This will require not only a standard set of individuals (passport, TIN, income statement 2-NDFL, military ID for men under the age of 27, pension certificate), but also additional documents related to business lending (business plan, IP certificate or other form of organization, a letter of cooperation from the franchisor, evidence of possession of some valuable property that can be used for collateral).
  5. Applying directly for a loan to start and grow a small business.
  6. Providing the bank with funds to pay off the down payment (or pledging expensive property).
  7. Getting the money you want and starting your own business.

Of course, there may be some emergency situations, additional requirements. Thus, a franchise company that is a partner of a bank may request an additional detailed analysis of the sector of the market in which the client is going to work. If the future business requires additional licenses, they must be obtained before the loan is issued. For example, if a person is going to sell alcohol, hunting and traumatic weapons. Therefore, only a general, standard instruction is presented here. The conditions under which Sberbank issues loans for small businesses are medium and quite acceptable against the background of offers from other banks:

  • annual interest - 18.5% (in other institutions this mark can reach up to 25%);
  • the minimum down payment is 20%, but it is better to agree to 30% (in other institutions it can reach up to 50%);
  • if a client has acquired a franchise from Harat's, then he can be given up to 7 million rubles. In other cases - up to 3 million rubles. The minimum loan is 100 thousand rubles;
  • a loan is issued for a period of up to 5 years (for users of the Harat’s business model) or up to 3.5 years (for everyone else);
  • the allowable delay in monthly payments for Harat's customers is one year, and for everyone else - six months.

Requirements for the borrower

Here it is worth considering not the minimum, but the maximum requirements. Those in which the chance of obtaining a loan rises to 90%. Sberbank requests are standard. Any other bank will put forward similar conditions for novice businessmen:

  • a clearly structured, voluminous and most informative business plan;
  • certificate of income in the form of 2-NDFL;
  • possession of some valuable property suitable for collateral;
  • having an account in another bank, owning shares and other securities (an extract from the bank, from the register of shareholders). This is analogous to a pledge;
  • good credit history (the presence of any other loans repaid on time). At the same time, the presence of an outstanding loan that the client pays is not a plus, because this is an additional financial burden;
  • the presence of co-borrowers (business partners) or guarantors who have proven their financial solvency to the bank;
  • the client not only has a permanent residence permit, but is also going to open a business at the place of residence and location of the creditor bank. For example, in the same city where the Sberbank branch and the borrower's home address are located;
  • the age of the client varies in the range of 27-45 years. Why exactly 27 years? The answer is military duty, which is by no means pleasing to banks;
  • for some reason, according to statistics, family people are more trusted. Although the family, logically, can become a factor distracting from business. Probably, banks believe that a family person is a priori more responsible;
  • absence of any debts (for other loans, utility bills);
  • information about the main monthly expenses of the client (utility payments, other loans, alimony, rent, etc.);
  • no criminal convictions (especially outstanding, serious and for financial crimes);
  • a certificate confirming that the borrower was not and is not registered in a psychiatric and / or narcological dispensary.

It is not necessary to strictly comply with all factors. Yes, such borrowers practically do not exist in nature. It's just that the "gold standard", the ideal, is described here. Some factors are not of particular importance (marital status), and some are of paramount importance (collateral, business project, absence of crime and problems with mental health / drugs).

It is worth mentioning that if the borrower already had his own business and now wants to take a new loan for a new business, then this will go to his minus. Since the bank always evaluates unsuccessful entrepreneurial experience from a negative point of view. And where is the guarantee that this individual entrepreneur will not fail in the same way?

Factors affecting the bank's decision to grant a loan

In principle, after reading all of the above, those points on which the positive decision of the beneficiary directly depends are already clearly visible. To summarize, there will be only three main factors: a promising and well-designed business plan, the availability of a suitable franchise, and a certain financial level of the client. If all three points are rated perfectly by the bank, then this will bring the borrower close to the loan he needs so much. It is useful to know that in the business lending system, banks work according to plan. That is, the analysis of the client is carried out according to the worked out template. There are two such templates.

No. 1. Loan specialists monitor the borrower and issue a verdict (on the solvency of the client and the degree of risk for the bank).

No. 2. A statistical, automated system "Scoring" is used, based on the use of mathematical methods. Under this system, all borrowers are sorted into groups, each of which is characterized by a certain degree of risk.

Sometimes the bank resorts to both types of analysis.

Other ways to get a loan

It may well be that the bank still refused to issue a loan. But the situation is not entirely hopeless. What are the workarounds here?

Sberbank is one of the TOP-3 credit institutions of the Russian Federation that actively support small and medium-sized businesses. A variety of programs, the ability to obtain borrowed funds for a minimum package of documents, affordable rates are conducive to long-term cooperation.

Terms of lending in Sberbank

Lending to small businesses and individual entrepreneurs is a priority for the largest bank in the country. Absolutely transparent conditions and a flexible pricing system attract potential borrowers. However, the lender is not ready to cooperate with every applicant, since he pays special attention to the quality of the loan portfolio.

A potential borrower must meet the minimum requirements, namely:

  • the founders have Russian citizenship;
  • no losses for the reporting period (quarter, year);
  • lack of existing enforcement proceedings, claims of tax authorities;
  • term of conducting activities - at least 12 months from the date of registration (for certain products, the period may be reduced to 6 months).

All credit products can be divided into 2 large groups: factory and conveyor. (Table 1). The factory is a direction for financing LLCs and individual entrepreneurs with an annual revenue of up to 60 million rubles. It is characterized by a minimum package of documents and fast terms for consideration of the application. The conveyor is a technology for providing borrowed funds to clients with revenues from 60 to 400 million rubles per year. In this direction, a lower interest rate is provided.

The full line of products for individual entrepreneurs, micro- and small businesses can be found on the official website of Sberbank.

Good to know! In 2017, Sberbank launched individual pricing conditions that allow borrowers to obtain borrowed money on non-market terms. The program is valid when applying for a loan in the amount of 5 million rubles. When deciding on setting an interest rate, the depth of the relationship with the bank is taken into account (the number of products available: business cards, insurance programs, salary project, merchant acquiring, etc.). It became obvious that lending to small businesses in Russia is gaining momentum, and Sberbank is still the leader in this financial sector.

Best Small Business Loan Bank!

The increase in lending by Sberbank to small businesses in the first six months of 2017 amounted to 6%. The head of Sberbank German Gref, at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, confirmed "2017 will be better for banks than the previous one, and Sberbank's share in it will be from 40 to 50%."

Small business loan - lending goals

A corporate loan at Sberbank can be provided for various purposes:

  • covering cash gaps;
  • modernization of production;
  • replenishment of current assets;
  • acquisition of commercial real estate;
  • purchase of transport and special equipment and others.

The bank is wary of start-ups, so it will not be possible to take a business loan for the development of an enterprise. However, the lender fairly loyally finances the opening of new directions by existing profitable enterprises.

In general, Sberbank's small business lending programs in 2017 can be divided into 2 groups: targeted and non-targeted. The former are intended to purchase a specific product or finance a specific area. The borrower must report to the lender on the expediency of spending the money received within the time limits established by the agreement. Purposeless loans can be spent at the discretion of the client.

Lending modes

When lending to small and medium-sized businesses in Russia, Sberbank implements various options for providing borrowed funds, which allows each client, depending on the specifics of economic activity, to find the most optimal option.

For small businesses, Sberbank offers the following lending options:

  1. Credit. Provides for the transfer of the entire loan amount to the current account of an individual entrepreneur or LLC. In this case, interest is charged on the entire loan debt, regardless of whether the client used the borrowed funds or not.
  2. Credit line (ON, LCL, framework). ON has an availability period after which money is not provided. After the selection is redeemed, the limit is renewed. With LCL, interest is accrued on the balance of the loan debt, and the unused limit is subject to a fee. Under the framework option, borrowed funds are provided under separately concluded agreements within the established limit.
  3. Overdraft. This is account financing. Ideal for commercial establishments. Upon receipt of revenue or other transfers to the current account, the overdraft is automatically debited, which allows you to save on interest.

Stages of small business lending

Applicants can apply for a loan directly from the Small Business Sales sector or through the SBBOL system. If, during the call to the client base, the operators identify the need for borrowed funds, they will transfer the information to the lending division of the bank and the manager to whom the client is assigned.

The process of obtaining borrowed money includes the following steps:

  1. Consultation. Selection of a loan product, provision of information on the conditions for obtaining a loan.
  2. Collection of documents. According to the Credit Factory technology, a minimum package of documents is required (registration documents, financial statements for the reporting period with a receipt for acceptance of its IFTS, SRO (if necessary), license (for licensed activities), passport of the decision maker). The "Conveyor" technology provides for an extended financial analysis of the applicant's activities, so the list of documents is expanding.
  3. Analysis of the information provided, structuring the transaction. Analysts, together with representatives of the security, collateral service, check the legal purity of the transaction and calculate the borrower's rating. For "factory" products, a complete analysis is carried out by a client manager.
  4. Providing information on the transaction to the underwriting service. Specialists evaluate the riskiness of the transaction, the solvency and reliability of the borrower. Based on the information received, a decision on the application is provided.
  5. The conclusion of the contract. The loan agreement is signed at the bank office. If the transaction amount is more than 5 million rubles, a security service specialist must be present during the execution of contractual relations.

Good to know! In some cases, the approval of the transaction is carried out through the credit committee. It consists of a client manager, to whom the applicant is assigned, the head of the business sales department, an analyst and underwriters. A positive decision is made by majority vote.

  1. Money transfer. For purposeless products, money is credited to the current account after the application is processed by the back office. For targeted loans, money is provided only by order of a strictly established form.

In the bank branch, the manager will listen to your wishes and select the most suitable loan product.

After considering the application, the bank operator will contact you and offer to come to the nearest branch of the bank to conclude a loan agreement (of course, if the bank's decision is positive).

Sberbank offers 10 major loan programs for small businesses. How to get a loan for an individual entrepreneur in Sberbank, which program to choose - we will consider all the features and possibilities of financing your business later in the article.

Overview of Sberbank's programs for loans to small businesses: conditions and rates

Sberbank of Russia in 2018 lends for the development of small businesses without collateral and secured by real estate, equipment or goods. The availability of collateral is the first criterion to consider when choosing a loan.

Unsecured lending on trust

Without collateral, Sberbank lends to entrepreneurs whose business has been operating for more than a year and makes a profit.

"Confidence"

The program allows you to get a "trust" loan, without making a pledge, for a business whose annual income does not exceed 60 million rubles.

Can borrow money for any need:

  • solving current problems;
  • development of own business;
  • refinancing.

Credit "Trust" makes it possible to receive from 100 thousand to 3 million rubles at an interest rate of 18.5% per annum, with repeated lending - 17%. In the case of refinancing, if the client submits documents on the direction of the loan to close existing loans, the bank is ready to set the rate at 16.5%.

The term for which it will be necessary to repay the borrowed funds: from 1 to 3 years. You can use guarantors to get a loan.

"Trust" is suitable for borrowers who need a loan without collateral and without bank control over the spending of borrowed funds, for example, when you need cash. Also, the product is good for refinancing debt, for which the current rate is above 16.5%.

The main advantage of this option: there is no need to document the purpose of spending the money received.

"Express Overdraft"

Funds are issued in the amount of up to 50% of the amount of the monthly turnover on the settlement accounts of the entrepreneur. You can get up to 2.5 million rubles at a fixed single percentage - 15.5%. The term of the contract is 360 days, but each tranche must be returned within 60 days.

"Express Overdraft" is a good solution for short-term replenishment of "turnover": if you need to pay off suppliers or contractors immediately, and funds will be received from buyers (customers) in a month and a half.

The proposal has its advantages:

  • simplified analysis of the entrepreneur's finances;
  • can be issued through the Internet bank, the Sberbank Business Online system;
  • The loan is revolving and can be used as needed.

Minus: an individual entrepreneur can spend an overdraft only for business purposes; you cannot withdraw cash or use it to repay a loan.

Pledge lending programs for individual entrepreneurs

The most profitable option for secured lending, if real estate is transferred as security. In this case, relatively low insurance costs and there is an opportunity to get more loyal conditions.
