WHAT IS SME LOAN? Loans which cater to the financial needs of the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) segment are known as SME loans.

Small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) are businesses that maintain revenues, assets or a number of employees below a certain threshold. Each country has its own definition of what constitutes a small and medium-sized enterprise. Certain size criteria must be met and occasionally the industry in which the company operates in is taken into account as well. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/smallandmidsizeenterprises.asp SME finance is the funding of small and medium-sized enterprises, and represents a major function of the general business finance market – in which capital for different types of firms are supplied, acquired, and costed or priced. https://en.wikipedia.
