Tactics to Help NBFCs Reduce Loan Acquisition Costs

Acquiring loans can be a hefty expense for Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs). But fear not! There are savvy strategies to trim down these costs, helping NBFCs operate more efficiently and sustainably in the financial landscape.

Understanding Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC)

Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC) play a pivotal role in determining the efficiency of loan acquisition for NBFCs. It includes expenses across marketing, sales, and operational efforts aimed at acquiring potential borrowers.

1. Leverage Data Analytics for Targeted Marketing

   Embrace the power of data analytics to identify and target the most promising market segments. Analyzing demographic trends, income brackets, and spending behaviors helps in optimizing marketing efforts. Tailoring campaigns to specific demographics minimizes wasted resources while maximizing conversion rates.

2. Streamline Digital Marketing Efforts

   In today's digital age, a significant chunk of potential borrowers resides online. Optimize digital marketing channels by harnessing the potential of social media, content marketing, SEO strategies, and targeted online ads. A well-crafted online presence can significantly reduce acquisition costs by directly reaching interested parties.

3. Enhance Customer Retention Strategies

   While acquiring new borrowers is crucial, retaining existing customers is equally vital. Offering incentives, loyalty programs, or personalized services not only fosters customer loyalty but also reduces the need for constant high-cost marketing efforts to acquire new clients.

4. Emphasis on Upgrading Credit Rating

An upgraded credit rating opens doors to cheaper funding sources. NBFCs can reduce their borrowing costs significantly by enhancing their creditworthiness. This involves meticulous management of financial metrics and demonstrating consistent performance to credit rating agencies.

Abhay Bhutada, MD of Poonawalla Fincorp highlighted how upgrading to AA+ from AAA long-term credit ratings helps their company. The advancement bolsters the liability franchise, streamline borrowing expenses, and expedite the path toward growth.

5. Automate Processes for Efficiency

   Automation streamlines repetitive tasks, reducing operational costs and minimizing errors. Incorporating technology for loan application processing, credit scoring, and document verification not only saves time but also cuts down manual labor expenses.

6. Strengthen Partnerships and Alliances

   Collaborating with strategic partners, such as real estate developers or vehicle dealerships, can open avenues for pre-qualified leads. Partnerships can yield mutual benefits, tapping into each other's customer base and reducing marketing overheads.

Rashesh Shah, the Chairman and CEO of Edelweiss Group has often spoken about financial strategies and the challenges faced by NBFCs. He has highlighted the importance of diversifying funding sources, optimizing operational efficiencies, and building strong relationships with lenders to reduce borrowing costs. 

7. Focus on Customer Referral Programs

   Implementing customer referral programs incentivizes existing clients to recommend your services to potential borrowers. Word-of-mouth remains a potent tool; leveraging satisfied customers to bring in new business reduces acquisition costs significantly.

By adopting these tactics—leveraging data analytics, optimizing digital marketing, focusing on customer retention, embracing automation, forming strategic partnerships, and utilizing customer referrals—NBFCs can pave the way for a more cost-effective and sustainable lending landscape.

The Role And Benefits Of Loan-To-Value Ratio In Property Loans

When it comes to property loans in India, the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio plays a crucial role. This handy tool determines the maximum amount you can borrow against the value of the property. Let's delve into its significance and the benefits it brings to borrowers.

What Is Loan-To-Value Ratio?

The loan-to-value ratio is a percentage that represents the loan amount in relation to the appraised value or the purchase price of a property. In simple terms, it shows how much of the property's value you can borrow as a loan. For example, if a property is valued at ₹50 lakhs and the LTV ratio is 80%, you can get a loan of up to ₹40 lakhs.

The Role Of LTV Ratio In Property Loans:

The LTV ratio plays a crucial role in determining the amount of loan you can secure and the terms you'll receive from lenders. Here's how it impacts property loans:

1. Loan Eligibility

Lenders in India often have maximum LTV limits for different types of property loans. By calculating the LTV ratio, they assess your eligibility. Higher LTV ratios indicate a lower down payment requirement and can increase your chances of loan approval.

2. Risk Assessment

LTV ratio helps lenders evaluate the risk associated with a loan. A higher LTV indicates a higher loan amount relative to the property value, which can make the loan riskier. Lenders may charge higher interest rates or impose stricter terms for higher LTV ratios.

3. Borrowing Capacity

The LTV ratio directly influences your borrowing capacity. Higher LTV ratios allow you to borrow a larger percentage of the property value, enabling you to finance your property purchase or other financial needs.

Benefits of LTV Ratio In Property Loans

Here are the key benefits of the LTV ratio for borrowers:

1. Reduced Upfront Costs

A lower LTV ratio means a higher down payment. By securing a higher LTV ratio, you can minimize your upfront costs and maintain liquidity for other expenses.

2. Flexible Financing Options

Lenders often offer different loan products based on LTV ratios. Higher LTV ratios can provide more flexibility in loan terms and repayment options, making it easier to meet your financial goals.

3. Better Negotiating Power

A strong LTV ratio can strengthen your negotiating power with lenders. A higher LTV ratio implies a lower personal investment, making you a more attractive borrower and potentially enabling you to negotiate better interest rates and favorable loan terms.

If Connor were to stick to his promise and repair Daniel do you think it’d be easier to just pop his head off and plunk it onto a fresh PL600 body given that way he’d just need to take care of his head injuries

bc I can’t imagine the latter he’d be very pleased waking up to find out his pants were torn to swim trunks

whelp I guess I'll post this thing - Fate For A King

I wanted to finish my tutorial first but I have good news and bad news - rambly Footnote below*

aNYWAY so I think I posted at some point about this other traditional animation I was doing where I used only shit from dollar tree. Here's what I ended up with. It's called Fate For a King. For anyone who cares there's some blood but in my opinion it is cartoony. I did draw it with paint and sharpies after all. (If you survived kids animated movies in the 80s this should be about the same amount of traumatizing )

Basically yeah I just get sick of art being inaccessible and I hate that people just decide art forms (like traditional animation) are obsolete just because CGI has improved a bit. So I combined the two hatreds and made traditional animation out of materials that are extremely accessible and cheap that just about anyone who was interested could hypothetically find and afford. I did the first part a tutorial where I show people how so they can make something like this too. Part 1 was about the setup and pencils. Part 2 is going to dive more into how I did the ink and paint process, since I used page protectors for cels and they're HORRIBLE to work with. And Part 3 will be some suggestions on how to put it all together (this version uses software I already have but I am doing more research on what you would do if you needed something free, or even if you don't have a scanner) so stay tuned. Together we can eat elitism for breakfast. If you can make shit you should and I'm going to tell you how soon. In the meantime I hope you enjoy this fable about creepy deer and my feelings on corporations (also sorry the music is Like That and it's it's the hokey synthesized instruments. I dead ass didn't have time to record it because I was trying to get this done in time for a meet up yesterday. Maybe Some day)

* bad news is I will need to take my sweet fucking time getting back to it. Good news is THATS BECAUSE SOME INDIE FILMMAKER PEOPLE ASKED ME TO DO A LITTLE ANIMATED SNIPPET IN THEIR REAL MOVIE. I'm excited but I need to focus on that because I have imposter syndrome and constant paranoia and fears of failure

I love thriftbooks so much. My gf and I finally got a new bookshelf for our bedroom and there's a lot of extra space on it so I decided to try and fill in the gaps in my collection of warrior cats books from my childhood. I needed 8 books in total and I just found ALL of them in "very good" condition for a total of only $35 (with free shipping!)

Already stressin

[spockvarietyhour]

was rewatching Trek V w @kiranerys and compared to VI, V barely puts any effort in redressing TNG sets (and some of those are they themselves repurposed from earlier movies). Usually I'll just point out the hallways,

which aside from hastily put on panels to cover the black LCARS screens and the change in turbolift cars, the rest is the same (no money to change signage on the door, carpeting,.....)

VI does a smart attempt by adding some overhead pipes and hatchways and a different lighting scheme to make it more claustrophobic.

(does it mesh with wider hallways of of wrath of khan? no. but it gets the job done).

Even the transporters get a decent redress with the blast shield and removal of the isolinear stack (and the 88-89 need for neon accents on everything)

(as covered here in more detail)

Anyhoo, all of this preamble to say that, since my childhood was watching these movies in 4:3 and V is the one I revisit the least, I didn't notice until this watch that when Scotty wakes up in Sickbay the okudgrams behind him are the TNG ones:

Something theatre audiences would see but not television ones as that would be entirely cropped out.

just hilarious that's all. Trek movies would continue to pass sets back and forth to each other as the movies kept going on but trek vi does a better job including the TNG sickbay:

(shhh it's dark so you can't tell we didn't change much and we have the right consoles above the biobeds)
