Cash Credit (CC)
A revolving working-capital facility often linked to eligible stock and receivables. Businesses can draw and repay within a sanctioned limit, subject to the lender’s drawing-power conditions.
Your customers may pay in 30, 60 or 90 days. But your suppliers, salaries and fresh orders cannot always wait. VR Capittal helps businesses in Surat explore working-capital facilities built around their operating cycle—not just a loan amount.

Healthy sales do not always mean cash is available today. Many businesses must buy stock and pay expenses before customers settle their invoices. The time between spending and collection is your cash-conversion cycle.
Pay suppliers, procure materials and maintain inventory.
Produce, sell, dispatch and raise the customer invoice.
Receive payment on the agreed credit terms, sometimes weeks later.
There is no single best product for every company. The right choice depends on how frequently you need money, why it is needed, when customers pay and the lender's credit policy.

An approved borrowing limit linked to an account, used to meet short-term gaps. Security, eligibility, pricing and interest calculations depend on the specific OD arrangement.
A loan for an identified short-term business need, with drawdown, repayment and renewal terms as agreed with the lender rather than a permanently available revolving limit.
Funding against eligible business receivables can bring cash forward rather than waiting until invoice due dates. On RBI-regulated TReDS, eligible MSME sellers access bids from permitted institutional financiers against accepted receivables.
Structured funding may support purchases from an anchor company or facilitate receivable collections across a distribution network. Availability depends on the lender and supply-chain arrangement.
Non-fund-based trade facilities may help support purchases, performance obligations or supplier confidence. They serve a different purpose from cash-in-hand loans and may involve margins or collateral.
Note: A cash credit or overdraft is not the same as a fixed-term loan; letters of credit and bank guarantees are generally non-fund-based trade facilities. The exact facility and availability are determined by the lender.
Choose the situation that sounds familiar. These links show the facilities typically worth reviewing—not a promise of eligibility.
A good facility should improve liquidity without creating fresh pressure on repayments, security or day-to-day operations.
Estimate the money tied up in stock and unpaid bills, less supplier credit and collections—not simply a round-number loan request.
Match financing tenor and repayment arrangements to expected receivable collections, inventory turnover and seasonality.
Look at applicable interest, processing fees, renewal charges, documentation costs, security costs and any unused-limit charges.
Understand collateral, hypothecation, personal guarantees, insurance and lender conditions. Security requirements differ by product and eligibility.
Stock statements, debtor ageing, financial statements and periodic reviews may form part of facility management.
Assess debt obligations, collection delays, profit margins and contingency headroom before accepting a limit.
For an eligible MSME seller, invoice financing can reduce the wait between delivering goods and receiving payment. On a TReDS platform, a buyer-accepted receivable can be offered to permitted financiers, who bid to discount it. The exact process, pricing, eligibility and documentation depend on the applicable platform and transaction.

Before you sign a sanction letter, understand how the facility works, what it costs and who decides eligibility.
Working capital finance provides funding or trade-related credit support for business operating needs such as inventory, supplier payments and the time gap between sales and collections. The appropriate structure depends on how the business cash cycle works.
Both can provide access to an approved borrowing limit. Cash credit is typically linked to current assets such as eligible inventory and receivables and may be governed by drawing power; an overdraft is linked to an account or other security arrangement. The exact conditions depend on the lender and facility.
Many revolving facilities calculate interest with reference to the amount actually utilised, but the basis, minimum charges, commitment fees and other costs depend on the sanction terms. Review the lender’s complete schedule of charges rather than assuming unused funds cost nothing.
Some lender products and guarantee-backed schemes may allow collateral-free facilities for eligible borrowers. Approval is not automatic, and the lender may still seek other security, guarantees or documentation depending on the product and applicable policy.
Potentially, yes. Invoice discounting or bill financing may be available where the invoice, buyer, contractual arrangement and business meet the financier’s requirements. TReDS is a regulated route for eligible MSME receivables accepted by buyers; it uses permitted institutional financiers.
Lenders commonly ask for business and promoter KYC, GST returns, income-tax returns, financial statements, bank statements, borrowing details, stock and debtor ageing, and documents for proposed collateral. Requirements vary by lender, business profile and amount sought.
Lenders assess factors such as turnover, operating cycle, financial performance, existing borrowings, banking conduct, borrower profile, receivables and security. We can help you organise the information needed to assess potential options, but only a lender can sanction a facility.
There is no standard approval timeframe. Processing depends on lender policy, completeness of documents, credit assessment, security verification and any due-diligence requirements. No sanction or disbursement timeline can be guaranteed.
Some facilities may be considered for newer or seasonal businesses, but lender eligibility and underwriting vary significantly. It is important to explain seasonality, promoter experience, projected cash flows and the exact purpose of the funds.
