Working Capital Loans

The SME Working Capital Loan (“WCL”) is an increase over the SME Micro Loan. As the Micro Loan is capped at S$100,000, the working capital loan allows companies to access more affordable capital over the S$100,000 limit. As the risk is distributed between the bank and the government, this provides lenders greater security to grant loans to growing companies in Singapore.

SME Micro Loans

The SME Micro Loan (“ML”) is usually the first loan offered to businesses. As the Micro Loan is capped at S$100,000, the working capital loan allows businesses to access cheaper capital over the S$100,000 limit. The risk is shared between the bank and the government, with the Singapore Government absorbing 90% of the risk. This allows SMEs to find support in business loans from the banks

    The business turnover ratio measures the proficiency of a business with which it effectively collects their receivables or the credit it has extended to its customers.
    To know how to calculate business turnover ratio, the total amount receivable from customers at the start of the accounting period must be added with the ending balance and divided by 2. The business turnover ratio is calculated by then dividing the total sales on credit by the average balance(excluding the cash receipts).

    To be eligible for business loan, the business must have incorporated for at least 3 years and must have filed Income tax for a minimum of 1 year. Also, a good business loan turnover ratio gives a positive reflection of business growth and profitability, making it a good profile for business loans.
