Making clients shift for a better tomorrow

Nowadays, most of the SMEs and MSMEs are bound with an emotional urge which makes them avoid the thought of changing their lenders as they have been attached with them for one or two decades.

They don't shift even while being offered better products or services and better Rate of Interest. The emotional attachment with the lenders pushes them into a comfortable zone.

This is where Manhaday plays a crucial role by making its client realize the importance of switching for a better tomorrow. Moreover, it helps them at bringing in management professionals. It derives the strength from understanding a client's financial status.

If and when required, the company reduces lenders, changes products and streamlines their treasury. Apart from this, the company has mastered the art of understanding business gaps and growth opportunity with a different mindset.

Manhaday was mandated to raise debt for this textile unit in Maharashtra. The company identified a particular lender who not only lent for this particular project but for several other projects too in that group.

The banker became a long term lender and as of today  has given more than Rs. 300 Crore to the group. Both are going strong. Moreover, it is on the verge of closing a transaction for a technology tie-up for an engineering manufacturing firm based in Maharashtra.

Initially, the client hesitated to sign the mandate but when he saw the value and long term growth opportunity he happily signed with the company.

The market is crowded with consultants and good old days of everybody becoming an investment banker and finance consultant will be a distant past.

Now besides having Professional qualification and knowing investors, there may be a need to have some new license like merchant bankers and RERA in real estate in the near future. Young generation should work with some IB firms, gain knowledge under somebody, have patience, keep on learning, take risk and make their presence felt.
