Equated Monthly Instalment consists of both the interest and the principal component. You should first arrive at the cash flow status of the business and decide on the affordable EMI level before applying for the business loan. On knowing the EMI level you can arrive at the nearest affordable amount by permutation and combinations with various loan tenure, interest rate and loan amount.

The formula to calculate EMI is

E = P x r x (1+r)n/(1+r)n-1
Here,
E is the EMI
P represents the principal amount
r stands for the interest rate offered on a monthly basis
n is the duration of the loan

After calculating the EMI and before applying for the loan you have to consider the following:

• You study the business position and the available finances thoroughly before you decide on availing a business loan. You can think of various options like cutting operation cost, increasing sales, expanding the area of business and all other areas that would result in an improved cash flow level. Also, consider utilising the contingency funds. If none of this work then, going for a business loan could be the last option.
• Have a business plan ready before you go for a business loan. The business plan should have the areas for which the funds from the business loan will be utilised. By doing so you will be clear about critical areas where the loan has to be channelised to take the business to another level. Building a good relationship with IDFC Bank will enable you to get funding for the next project immediately on clearing the loan availed for the present project.
• Form a Think Tank comprising employees of all levels and plan a strategy for business growth. Pick the critical areas that require funding and that would improve the business growth. The next step would be to arrive at the level of requirement of funds. Borrowing funds more than required is not a prudential step. At the same time, funds not utilised for the purpose it was borrowed is also not worth it.
