How lenders assess order-book-driven businesses
For fabrication and project suppliers, banks ask: How much of your work is with one buyer? What are the payment terms and retention money? How many bank promises (letters of credit, guarantees) do you already have? Have you finished orders of this size before? He has 20 years of experience with cash loans and bank promises (CC, demand loans, letters of credit, guarantees), including at two banks. We prepare your file to answer these up front.
Property notes
Properties outside the Chennai Metropolitan Area typically need DTCP or local planning approval. Check patta, EC and layout approval before offering collateral. See our property documents guide.

Frequently asked questions
Can fabrication units get bank guarantees for tenders?
Yes. Banks sanction performance, advance payment and bid bond guarantees within non-fund-based (cash loans) limits, usually requiring a cash margin and property collateral supporting the facilities.
What happens if my main customer delays payments?
Long-pending receivables reduce drawing power and raise credit concerns. Showing customer quality and realistic receivable days, and getting money early against customer invoices where possible, keeps limits healthy.
Do you work with Trichy clients remotely?
Yes — by phone, WhatsApp and video, with meetings by appointment.
Official sources: bank rates and rules change, so check SBI loan interest rates, RBI (repo rate and lending rules), Tamil Nadu patta and land records.
