Frequently Asked Questions About Bank Loans in Sri Lanka
How do banks calculate my monthly EMI?
Banks use a standard amortization formula based on the principal amount, annual interest rate, and loan tenure. In the early years, a larger portion of each EMI goes toward interest, while later payments reduce the principal faster.
Why do many SME business loans get rejected?
Many business loans are rejected because documentation is weak. Missing cash flow forecasts, DSCR analysis, and professionally structured Project Reports make applications look risky to bank credit committees.
What documents do I need for a LKR 10 million plus business loan?
Alongside your legal documents such as BR and Articles of Association, banks usually require a detailed Bank Loan Project Report covering financial projections, market analysis, management profile, and repayment capacity.
Knowing your EMI is step one. Getting approved is step two.
