Bank liquidity deployment consultant for SME lending
The Opportunity
Nepal's banks are sitting on excess liquidity (₹X Cr+) unable to channel funds into productive investment. Meanwhile, small businesses in Nepal cannot access credit at reasonable rates. A local service connecting bank relationship managers with vetted SME borrowers — handling due diligence, documentation, and loan structuring — solves both the bank liquidity problem and the SME credit gap.
Market Size
₹850 Cr addressable market — Nepal banking sector excess liquidity looking for deployment vehicles; SME lending gap in Nepal estimated at ₹2000+ Cr unmet demand
Business Model
Earn ₹5,000–₹15,000 per successful loan facilitation (1–2% of loan value); retainer fees from 2–3 partner banks (₹20,000–₹40,000/month) for ongoing lead generation and documentation support
Per-loan facilitation fee: ₹8,000/loan × 8–10 loans/month = ₹64,000–₹80,000/monthBank retainer contracts: ₹30,000/month × 2–3 banks = ₹60,000–₹90,000/monthSME documentation and business plan preparation service: ₹2,000–₹5,000/client
Your 30-Day Action Plan
Interview 5–7 bank lending officers in Kathmandu to understand liquidity pain points, loan approval bottlenecks, and SME vetting criteria; document exact documentation gaps
Identify 15–20 bankable SMEs (micro-traders, small manufacturers, retail) who have been rejected or discouraged from applying; map their collateral, cash-flow, and credit history
Prepare 3 sample loan proposals (loan amount, repayment structure, collateral, risk profile) using real SME data; present to 2 bank relationship managers to validate demand and fee structure
Sign initial retainer agreement with 1 bank (₹25,000–₹30,000/month for lead generation and documentation) and close first 2–3 loan facilitations for ₹7,000–₹10,000 per deal
Compliance & Regulatory Angle
GST registration (Service category 5%), basic business license (Kathmandu Municipality), no specific lending license required (acting as facilitator, not lender). Bank KYC/AML compliance mandatory for loan documentation handling.
