Starting Business in Bangladesh: Documents you need to get SME loan from Banks/Financial Institutions

Starting Business in Bangladesh: Documents you need to get SME loan from Banks/Financial Institutions

Getting SME loan or any kind of Bank loan is, in a word, complicated. In a sense it's okay to be complicated because giving money is not a good feeling for anyone but banks. Wherever you go to a bank for loan they just behave like they are not willing to give you loan but in hindsight they actually love to give loan but they love documents more. I doubt whether bankers love anything more than papers named by documents! In Bangladesh it's more than true that you need a bunch of documents to get loan.

  3. Yes! This sector has a huge potentiality and hope it will be a big industry in few years. since we are on this industry and with a practical experience we found many problems to grow this industry and here is some most important of them like- Payment system, Delivery system, Trust, cheap and fake products and lack of experts or employees. we are in bdshop.com trying in a little bit different way and with original products and faster delivery and we try to meet the customer's expectation by providing a quality customer support. hope for the best and best of luck to everyone related to this industry 🙂
