A genuine requirement for port equipment, cargo movement or project ex*****on did not automatically translate into a fundable proposal during FY 2025–26.
Some otherwise viable manufacturers, traders, exporters and maritime service providers struggled to secure the required amount or tenor because their proposal, financial position, transaction evidence or repayment structure did not fully satisfy underwriting expectations.
Top 5 Situations Where Businesses Failed to Secure Working Capital
1. Obstacle: Conventional security was unavailable, already charged or insufficient for the requested exposure. Action: Evaluate eligible cash-flow or transaction-linked structures and provide strong contract, invoice and collection evidence.
2. Obstacle: High leverage, uneven margins or volatile cash flows weakened confidence in repayment capacity. Action: Improve capital structure, present realistic projections and size the facility against demonstrated operating cash flow.
3. Obstacle: Financial statements, GST returns, bank statements, ageing reports, contracts or stock records were delayed or inconsistent. Action: Build a reconciled lender-ready data room before approaching financiers.
4. Obstacle: Overdues, cheque returns, statutory delays or unresolved bureau records affected banking-conduct assessment. Action: Cure irregularities, correct reporting errors and document the resolution with evidence of sustained improvement.
5. Obstacle: The requested tenor did not match procurement, installation, retention or receivable cycles, while dependence on a few customers increased concentration risk. Action: Align repayment with cash conversion and strengthen customer diversification.
A delayed or reduced sanction may reflect a mismatch between proposal design and legitimate underwriting criteria—not an absence of business potential.
Financial readiness should begin before an urgent requirement arises through clean information, credible projections, suitable facility design and early engagement. Bespoke Financials helps eligible port-sector companies assess gaps, organise proposals and evaluate sector-aligned working-capital, supply-chain or trade-finance structures, subject to lender assessment and applicable terms.
