Credit Rating Scheme

FINANCIAL SCHEME

Improve Credit Access with Government-Supported Rating

The Credit Rating Scheme provides financial assistance to MSMEs for getting their credit rated by recognized credit rating agencies. A good credit rating helps MSMEs access formal credit at lower interest rates, reduce collateral requirements, and improve overall financial credibility.

Under the CGTMSE scheme, credit-rated MSMEs can access collateral-free loans up to ₹2 crore. Swastik Consultants helps businesses improve their creditworthiness, get rated, and simultaneously apply for CGTMSE and other credit-linked subsidies.
