About Nano-Finance Loans

Nano-finance loans are designed for self-employed individuals and small business owners who may not have formal income documents or collateral that meet ordinary loan criteria. Most providers are non-bank financial institutions, and the approved credit line is usually smaller than a general SME loan, sized to fit a small business's day-to-day working capital. What varies most between providers is the maximum credit line offered, the interest rate, and the repayment term, some of which are set as a range depending on individual assessment.

CheckDi compiles nano-finance loans from providers across Thailand using the Bank of Thailand's public product data, so you can compare credit limits, rates and conditions from every provider in one place, free of charge.

How to choose Nano-Finance Loans

  • Check whether you meet each provider's eligibility criteria, such as the occupation or business types it considers, since nano-finance mainly targets self-employed and small-scale operators.
  • Check the maximum credit line each provider offers, and whether it's enough for the working capital you actually need.
  • Compare the interest rate and repayment term, since some providers set these as a wide range depending on individual assessment — ask what rate you're likely to actually get before deciding.
  • Check the documents required to apply — nano-finance is generally more flexible on income documentation than ordinary loans, but each provider still has its own minimum requirements.
  • Ask about repayment schedules that suit your business's income cycle, since small businesses often have irregular revenue.
  • Borrow only what your business genuinely needs, and assess your repayment capacity carefully before applying, so the debt burden doesn't strain your working capital.

Frequently asked questions

What is a nano-finance loan, and how is it different from an SME loan?
Nano-finance targets self-employed individuals and very small business owners who may not be able to access an ordinary SME loan because they lack formal income documents or collateral. The credit line is usually smaller than an SME loan and is geared toward short-term day-to-day working capital rather than long-term business expansion.
Do I need collateral to apply for a nano-finance loan?
Most nano-finance loans are designed to be more accessible than ordinary loans, so they generally don't require collateral. Instead, each provider uses its own criteria to assess repayment ability, such as trading history or business cash flow. Ask each provider directly what criteria it uses.
Who can apply for a nano-finance loan?
The main target group is self-employed individuals and small business owners — such as market vendors, small service providers or farmers — who need working capital but may lack complete formal income documentation. Exact eligibility varies by provider, so check each one's criteria before applying.
How is the nano-finance interest rate calculated, and why do providers show it as a wide range?
Providers usually show the rate as a range because the rate each applicant gets depends on an individual risk assessment, such as repayment history and business cash flow. Applicants assessed as lower risk tend to get a rate closer to the bottom of the range. Ask the provider what rate you're likely to actually receive before deciding.
How flexible is nano-finance repayment?
Repayment structures vary by provider. Some use fixed monthly instalments, while others design the schedule to match a small business's income cycle, such as weekly repayments. Ask each provider about its repayment structure and flexibility before applying, so you can choose one that fits your business's cash flow.
