Vendor Payments Made Easy for MSME's

The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector is a very important piece of India's legacy economic model and a part of the critical supply chain for products and services. This sector is considered the job creator and plays a crucial role in providing large-scale employment and industrialization in rural and backward areas.

In India, MSMEs contribute nearly 8% of the country's GDP, around 45% of the manufacturing output, and approximately 40% of the country's exports. Hence, MSME development is important for India's economic growth and could be termed the backbone of the economic system. A lot more has to be done to bring MSMEs into India into the organic competition. Despite these good tidings, several challenges prevent this sector from hitting its full potential. So, what are these issues that are acting as a hindrance in the development of MSMEs?

One of the biggest challenges that MSMEs face in India is a lack of finance. Due to a lack of debt financing choices for small firms in India, growth has been slower and they have been less able to take advantage of economic prospects. Apart from this, India's MSME sector usually does not enjoy the same creditworthiness, so, the banks are unsure about their repayment capabilities. Lack of financing options, lack of liquidity, long paperwork, and approval processes rob them of their chances of capitalizing on real-time business opportunities. Due to a lack of timely credit and financing, the businesses are unable to pay GST with a credit card, pay vendors with a credit card, and also can't transfer money to bank accounts.
