Solving Real problems
Ram Yadav
I have been running my business for over twelve years but have not been able to undertake expansion activities. I applied to Ziploan and they cleared my loan application in a very short span of time.
Kanchan Lata
I approached Ziploan for an equipment finance loan. Their eligibility criterion was easy to fulfill because it required only 2 years ITR and 10 lacs of annual banking credit.
Babu Lal
I always thought that loans and credit facilities were only available to large businesses with significant turnover. I never thought I would be eligible to qualify for a business loan too. Ziploan is boon for small enterprises like me.
