Personal loan for self-employed people

Self-employed people — shop owners, freelancers, professionals and small business owners — can get personal loans if they can show a steady income. Lenders usually look at bank statements and, for larger amounts, income tax returns or GST filings. On Finriseo you can compare offers from RBI-registered lenders that lend to self-employed borrowers.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a personal loan without an ITR?

For smaller amounts, some lenders rely on bank statements alone. Larger amounts usually need ITR or GST filings.

Should I take a personal loan or a business loan?

A personal loan is quicker for smaller needs. For bigger amounts tied to the business, a business loan may offer a higher limit. See our business loan page.

Is Finriseo a lender?

No. Finriseo is a loan comparison platform. The loan is given by the RBI-registered NBFC you choose; they set the rate, fees and terms. Comparing is free for you.
