Get a loan from Sberbank IP. Collateral lending programs for individual entrepreneurs


Sberbank of Russia is one of the financial institutions that are considered loyal in matters of lending to individual entrepreneurs. It offers entrepreneurs a line of products aimed at both individuals raising borrowed funds for personal needs, and commercial entities that require money for business development. To its clients, whose accounts regularly receive salaries and pensions, the bank itself offers credit cards and consumer loans for pre-approved amounts and at a preferential interest rate. But entrepreneurs who do not have accounts with them also have a chance for a positive consideration of their loan application.

Terms of lending to individual entrepreneurs in Sberbank

An individual entrepreneur can take advantage of two types of loan products offered by Sberbank.

  • These include:
  • targeted at ordinary clients - individuals, including entrepreneurs;

designed exclusively for specific business needs.

Loans for personal needs of individual entrepreneurs

  • In 2018, Sberbank offers individuals, including entrepreneurs, the following loan products:
  • consumer “Credit for any purpose”;
  • refinancing of previously taken out loans, including mortgages;
  • loans to individuals running personal subsidiary plots (LPH);
  • credit cards;

various mortgage programs.

Consumer lending to individuals at Sberbank

  • Sberbank provides “loan for any purpose” with or without guarantee on the following conditions:
  • the borrower must be over 21 years old, and at the time of repayment of the loan - no more than 75 years old; if there is a guarantor, the lower age limit is reduced to 18 years;
  • if the borrower is an individual entrepreneur, his work experience in this capacity must be at least six months; when combining entrepreneurial activity with hired work and transferring salary to a Sberbank card, the requirement for work experience at such a place of work is reduced to three months;
  • maximum loan amount - 5 million rubles;
  • the loan is provided for a period of up to five years;

Refinancing loans from other banks for individuals

As part of the refinancing program, Sberbank offers its clients to refinance loans previously taken from other financial institutions on more favorable terms. For these purposes, it offers loans of up to 3 million rubles for a period of up to five years at a fixed rate of 13.5%.

The meaning of loan refinancing is that, due to the loan received, one or more loans previously taken out from another bank at a higher interest rate are repaid ahead of schedule, and the debt is returned to Sberbank, but on the terms of a lower monthly payment and with a smaller overpayment.

Explanation of the mechanism of the loan refinancing program on the Sberbank website

Using the program offered by the bank, you can refinance the following loan products from third-party banks:

  • consumer loans;
  • car loans;
  • loans to individuals running personal subsidiary plots (LPH);
  • allowed overdraft on debit cards.

If a client refinances at least one loan from a third-party bank, at the same time he has the right to include in the program a car loan and a consumer loan previously taken out on less favorable terms from Sberbank itself.

There are additional restrictions regarding the loans included in the program:

  • no arrears over the last year;
  • validity period from 180 days from the date of conclusion of the loan agreement;
  • at least 90 days before the end of the loan agreement;
  • lack of restructuring.

Loan restructuring is a change in the terms of the loan agreement to make it more feasible for the borrower. Most often, this means reducing the monthly payment while simultaneously increasing the term of loan payments or recalculating the amount of debt from one currency to another - usually from a foreign currency to rubles. The need for restructuring arises when the amount of the monthly payment becomes unbearable for the borrower after a decrease in his income due to the loss of a job or an additional source of income, health problems, complete or partial disability, etc.

Credit cards

A Sberbank credit card is a bank card that allows the client to use the bank’s money within the credit limit assigned to it, which is determined individually based on data on the borrower’s solvency.

However, if you use the card correctly, you don’t have to pay interest. To do this, you do not need to withdraw cash, and the amount of each card payment must be reimbursed during the interest-free grace period, which for Sberbank cards is 50 days.

Depending on the client’s solvency, the bank can offer him cards from the international Visa and MasterCard systems, from standard to premium Gold and Platinum cards with a more generous credit limit and benefits. It is also possible to obtain a credit card from the Aeroflot Bonus program. For the money spent on it, bonus miles are awarded - one for 60 rubles on the classic card and one and a half on the Gold card, which can subsequently be exchanged for air tickets as a sufficient number is accumulated.

This is what the classic Sberbank Aeroflot Visa card looks like

If the client, unable to resist the temptation, has used up the entire credit limit or the lion's share of it, he is required to make a minimum payment every month. The bulk of this payment, after deducting service fees and interest, becomes available again. And there is a temptation to spend it again.

German financial consultant Bodo Schäfer recommends that those in debt “throw away their credit cards.” He himself explains that a person does not part with cash as easily as with an intangible credit card limit. But this statement can be understood in another way - simply do not spend money from a credit card until the debt on it is fully repaid.

American financial literacy guru Robert Kiyosaki advises having no more than two credit cards, never withdrawing cash from them, and spending only amounts that you can painlessly repay from your next income.

My friend, who has lived in the USA for many years, missed his return plane on his next visit to his homeland. He squandered all the money he took with him. But thanks to the credit card that I kept just in case, without spending my credit limit, I was able to buy a new ticket and return home. I myself appreciated Bodo Schaefer’s advice in action, even without knowing about it. Many years ago, I maxed out the credit limit on my first credit card and spent what was left on it after making the minimum payment. This continued until it expired. After this, the bank sent me a new card, which required activation before use. Realizing that after activation I would start spending the money remaining on it again, I destroyed the card, and made the minimum payments to the account linked to it non-cash from my salary card at the same bank. And so on until I paid in full, after which I did not reissue the credit card.

Loan to owners of personal subsidiary plots

If a potential borrower has an officially registered personal subsidiary plot, he can take out a loan from Sberbank in the amount of 30 thousand to 1.5 million rubles for a period of three months to five years at 17% per annum.

A prerequisite will be the presence of private household plots, confirmed by an extract from the household register. Household books are kept by rural administrations at the location of such farms.

In this case, the borrower may have the status of an individual entrepreneur.

  • for the purchase of finished housing;

Refinancing business loans

Entrepreneurs can refinance previously taken business loans from other banks using the following Sberbank products:

  • "Business Turnover";
  • "Business Invest";
  • "Business real estate";
  • "Confidence".

Leasing for individual entrepreneurs in Sberbank

Entrepreneurs can use leasing programs from Sberbank to purchase:

  • passenger cars;
  • commercial vehicles;
  • trucks;
  • special equipment.

Under the passenger car leasing program, an individual entrepreneur can purchase a car worth up to 24 million rubles by paying 10% of its total cost. The contract is concluded for a period of 12 to 37 months.

With the help of Sberbank, special equipment can be purchased on credit or under a leasing program

Leasing differs from a loan in that throughout the entire term of the contract, the acquired asset remains the property of the lessor, and the lessee pays him the cost of leasing the asset. However, these payments are also counted as redemption for the asset, and at the end of the contract it becomes the property of the lessee. In Russia, it is common to lease vehicles to individual entrepreneurs and organizations, but leasing of other assets, including real estate, is also practiced around the world, including for individuals.

Bank guarantees for small businesses from Sberbank

A bank guarantee is a loan product under the terms of which the bank undertakes to make payments for the client in a situation where he does not have his own funds to do so.

In 2018, Sberbank offers small businesses, including individual entrepreneurs, two types of such a product:

  • “Bank guarantee in one day”;
  • "Bank guarantee".

Sberbank loan products for participants in tenders and government contracts

Sberbank offers “Business Guarantee” and “Business Contract” products to individual entrepreneurs participating in competitions to select executors of government orders and to the winners of such competitions.

Under the terms of the “Business Contract” product, an individual entrepreneur can attract up to 600 million rubles for a period of up to three years at a rate of 11.8% per annum.

The requirements for borrowers are the same as for the “Business Guarantee” product, only the minimum period for conducting business is three months for individual entrepreneurs engaged in trade, and a year for all other areas of activity.

Factoring for small businesses

Factoring is a financial service, as a result of which a third party - a factoring company, or factor - becomes a participant in transactions between two commercial entities. Its meaning is that the supplier receives money for the shipped goods or services provided from the factoring company, and the buyer then settles with it and owes it, and not the supplier.

This scheme helps small businesses avoid cash gaps on more favorable terms than using an overdraft, since the commission for factor services is lower than the interest rate on bank lending.

In 2018, Sberbank provides this financial service in two options:

  • express;
  • standard.

How to get a loan for an individual entrepreneur from Sberbank: procedure

An entrepreneur obtaining a loan from Sberbank involves the following sequence of actions:

  1. Select the loan product you are interested in.
  2. Carefully study its description: requirements for the borrower, package of necessary documents, loan conditions, etc.
  3. If you have any questions, call the bank’s call center or visit the nearest branch and get advice. If a loan is taken for business needs, not just any branch will be suitable, but one that provides loans to individual entrepreneurs and legal entities. Specialists working in a department where such a service is not provided will not help, as they are incompetent.
  4. Prepare a package of documents in accordance with the description of the product of interest and the recommendations of bank specialists. For an application for a loan for personal needs from a bank client, they may not be needed: for certain loan products, the application is submitted through the Sberbank Online system, and a decision on it is made on the basis of information already available about the client. If the loan is taken for business needs, you will need to bring to the bank documents confirming the status of an individual entrepreneur and his official income:
  5. Submit your application in the most convenient way available. For personal loans, this means filling out a form on the bank’s website and visiting a branch. If a loan is taken for business needs, you will need to find the nearest branch that provides loans to business clients and visit it.
  6. Wait for a decision on your application. Bank employees will call to inform the client or send an SMS.
  7. If approved, if necessary, visit the bank branch again to complete all formalities. Whether it is necessary to visit the bank again or act in a different manner, its employees themselves will tell you when reporting the decision on the application.

Depending on the loan requested, the nominal time frame for reviewing an application at Sberbank ranges from two hours to eight days. But there is no guarantee that the bank will meet them. Its employees themselves explain that they have the right to extend the period for consideration of any application if they deem it necessary.

An anonymous user of the Banki.ru website from the Voronezh region writes that he applied for a Sberbank consumer loan on November 1, 2017. He did not receive a decision on it until the end of 2017. And the representative of the Sberbank customer care service, Maria Alexandrova, answered him on January 2, 2018 that she regretted such a long wait for the client, but such are the rules at the bank: he has the right to increase the period for consideration of the application.

Response from a Sberbank representative to a Banki.ru website user to a complaint about delays in considering a loan application

Consideration of a loan application

The bank employee with whom the individual entrepreneur communicates when applying for a loan acts only as an intermediary. Its functions include only collecting information and documents and transferring them to colleagues from a special unit. And their responsibilities include checking and evaluating the information provided to them, and based on the result, making a decision to approve or refuse.

When considering a loan application, they take into account the following factors:

  1. Client history of a potential borrower at the bank.
  2. His credit history with Sberbank, if he has one. It’s best when it’s there and it’s positive; if it’s not, it’s not so good, but it’s also not bad: everyone needs to start at some point, and bank employees understand this. But with baggage in the form of problem loans from Sberbank in the past, the chances of approval are minimal.
  3. General credit history. When considering an application for a pre-approved loan product from a client with regular payments to a bank account or card, it may not be taken into account: in these cases, the solvency and reliability of the borrower are assessed using a special methodology. But in other cases it is decisive. And the more problems, “blind spots” and other undesirable elements it contains, the less chance of approval.
  4. The financial situation of the borrower: the size and regularity of his income, their legality. Receipts from official sources, confirmed by a 2-NDFL certificate or a tax return, are preferred. “Gray” or completely unofficial income is considered an additional risk factor.
  5. Completeness and accuracy of the information that the borrower provided about himself. Here, any lie or forgetfulness, even in small things, when filling out a form or answering questions from the employee of the department through whom the application was submitted, can be harmful. In particular, concealing information about existing loans from other banks and payments on them, which will definitely be checked against the credit history, is a “minus in karma”, fraught with refusal.

Such points are also taken into account, such as, for example, living outside the place of registration, working in a different region where registered, applying to a branch other than the one closest to your home or office, although this is formally permitted, the client’s marital status, whether he has dependents. But with other risk factors, these circumstances are assessed as an additional point fraught with problems. However, in themselves they are not critical.

From personal experience of interacting with Sberbank, I can say that it easily issues credit cards to its clients with regular deposits into their accounts. After receiving an SMS about the availability of a special offer, I was given such a card immediately upon contacting the bank branch. Then, on average, once a year I received an SMS from the bank with an offer to increase the credit limit on it and instructions on what to do if I didn’t need it. But with regard to other credit products it is more strict. Several acquaintances who applied for a consumer loan with a pre-approved limit after persistent offers from Sberbank in the form of SMS and even phone calls with an invitation to visit the branch and submit an application were refused, despite a positive credit history.

For what reasons may Sberbank refuse to issue a loan to an individual entrepreneur?

Sberbank, like other credit institutions, does not explain the reasons for refusing to issue loans and, by law, has the right to do so. But we can cite the main factors that form the basis of such decisions:

  1. The client is asking for too much money for an insufficient period of time.
  2. The confirmed income of the potential borrower is regarded as insufficient. A situation is considered acceptable for a bank when no more than 30–50% of its regular income is spent on monthly loan payments.
  3. Client's debt. When determining the share of loan payments in a client’s income, the bank takes into account not only the loan that the client is requesting, but also all of his costs for existing loans.
  4. Lack of proof of income.
  5. Providing false information about your income and its sources, loans, mandatory expenses, etc.
  6. A large set of risk factors, including those that are not critical individually.

If the client has a chance of getting the loan approved, but not on the terms for which the application was submitted, the bank usually puts forward a counter-offer: with a smaller amount, a longer term, with a different collateral, etc.

Sberbank offers such loan products to individual entrepreneurs in 2018. However, before applying for any of them, it is worth carefully assessing your options and considering whether there is any way to avoid borrowing funds.

Additional funds are often needed to develop entrepreneurship. Most large companies take out loans constantly. These are always new opportunities that can be used to expand activities, maintain the current situation or overcome the crisis.

Sberbank offers a number of loan products that are perfect for individual entrepreneurs. They can also be provided to private individuals, but this organization distinguishes them among others as the most convenient and profitable for individual entrepreneurs.

Loan products for individual entrepreneurs

An entrepreneur who needs funds for business can take them from Sberbank. Wherein he can choose the most favorable conditions himself, because there are several offers at once.

If the likelihood of approval is low, you can choose one of two:

  1. Submit one “general” application, just for business lending. This can be done online or through a bank branch. Then Sberbank itself will offer its own loan option.
  2. Submit applications for several loan products of interest instead of one to increase the likelihood of a positive response.

But even after one application for a certain loan product, managers most likely will contact the individual entrepreneur to offer available options. The methods described above are just a safety net. to increase chances of approval.

In this case, a mandatory down payment is required, which can be 15-25% of the price of the purchased property.

Why don’t they give a loan to an individual entrepreneur at Sberbank?

There are many reasons why the most popular banking organization in Russia does not provide loans to individual entrepreneurs. Understanding the reasons why a bank refuses to issue a loan can greatly help a businessman - he will reconsider his own shortcomings and eliminate factors that prevent him from receiving money. The next registration attempt will probably be successful. The main reasons for IP failure:

  • The lender had doubts about the authenticity of the individual entrepreneur’s documents. Before providing a businessman with a cash loan, Sberbank studies in detail the documentation provided by the entrepreneur. If inconsistencies and other suspicious aspects are found in it, the issuance of money will be refused;
  • The potential borrower's business has been operating for less than 6 months. Many banks, including Sberbank, require individual entrepreneurs to have their company operating for at least 6 months at the time of applying for a loan. If you don’t have such experience yet, the probability of refusal is high;
  • Insufficient indicator of the client's solvency. When an entrepreneur’s personal income or the profit of his company does not reach the bank’s minimum requirements, one cannot count on receiving a loan. However, you can improve the situation by providing the bank with property as collateral.

Getting Sberbank loans for individual entrepreneurs is not so easy, but it is possible. Knowing this fact is enough to not give up after the first refusal, and to reapply when it is allowed again. If a small business needs financial support, feel free to contact Sberbank.
