About Us

SME Finance Facilitation Centre has been initiated by SME Chamber of India as a specialised platform dedicated to facilitating access to finance, banking services, investment opportunities and financial advisory support for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), manufacturers, exporters, importers, start-ups, emerging entrepreneurs and growth-oriented business enterprises.

The Centre aims to strengthen the financial capabilities and competitiveness of enterprises by connecting them with banks, Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs), development finance institutions, private equity investors, venture capital funds, Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), fintech companies and other financial service providers.

The Centre will focus on addressing critical financial challenges faced by enterprises, including inadequate working capital, limited access to institutional credit, collateral-free finance, high borrowing costs, delayed receivables, financial restructuring, capital investment constraints and difficulties in securing finance for business expansion and diversification.
