Despite the ease of starting a business because of digital registration procedures and government assistance, securing funding is one of the major challenges that startups face.<\/p><p>When banks consider giving out loans to a new business, they will likely require the borrower to provide collateral, credit history, financial history and proof of regular income. These are the things that most first-time entrepreneurs will have trouble providing. Early-stage startups don&#8217;t typically have these resources. This issue of financing, Government of India had introduced the &#8220;Startup Credit Guarantee Scheme for Startups (SCGSS).<\/p><p>This is the SCGSS scheme which provides benefits to startups which enables them to access loans on collateral free basis, by credit guarantee of banks and financial institutions. This enables financial institutions and decreases their lending risks and supports the startups with innovation &amp; scalability.<\/p><p>In this article you will be taught about the eligibility criteria, benefits of taking loan, documents to be carried, process to apply and tips to maximize your chances of getting sanctioned SCGSS start-up loan scheme.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e9b80f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8e9b80f\"
