  • Financial and operating information such as turnover, sales channels, your repayment history, and other information related to company / firm, project, or proposed loan.
  • Business and personal documentation - you may wish to provide business and personal documents for us to provide to lenders in order to facilitate your applications for financing. These documents may include (but are not limited to) tax reports, bank statements, and financial reports. These documents will be stored securely by us and only shared with a lender with your explicit permission. Under no circumstances will we share these documents without your permission.

If we do have to collect such sensitive information, we will do so in accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000.

How do we use the Information we collect?

We will use the information you have provided to:

  • Match you to lenders who may be able to provide finance for your business
  • Discuss and compare different matched options with you, including different available products and lenders
  • Deal with complaints, requests, or issues you may have with our website or services
  • Review your past interactions with us for the purposes of improving our website, products and service levels
  • Conduct credit analytics including but not limited to, financial ratio analysis. We will use these analytics to better inform you, financial advisers, if any, and our lending partners (see immediately below) about your creditworthiness and ability to service debt.
  • Provide lenders with information they need to contact you in order to discuss financing options. We will only ever provide a lender with this information once you have explicitly indicated that you would be interested in discussing financing with that particular lender. The information we may provide to a lender in these circumstances includes:
    • Your identification and contact information (business owner name, business name, CIN, contact phone number, contact email).
    • Information collected during the matching process - this may include any information you have input into our matching form or enabled us to access via our software, including operating or financial information. Provision of this information is necessary to facilitate a prompt and effective conversation around your financing needs, and will save you and our lending partners time and effort in applying for finance.
    • Outputs of our credit analytics above.
    • Provide lenders with application information and supporting documentation in the event that you decide to apply for finance with a particular lender. If you decide to apply for finance with a particular lender, you may choose to do this through our website. If so, we may offer to collect and collate all information required by the lender that you have chosen to apply to. Any supporting documentation collected via this process (e.g., hard copy financial statements, cash flow projects) will be disclosed solely to that lender.
  • We may provide our registered customers with email alerts, summaries of their activity on Loanwoan.com.
