Philippine SMEs that have been operating for at least 12 months, are registered with DTI, SEC, or CDA, and can demonstrate consistent monthly revenue are eligible. We evaluate each application using Precision Risk Engineering — assessing cash flow, business history, and revenue patterns — so you are not judged solely on a bureau credit score. Corporations, sole proprietors, partnerships, and cooperatives may apply for loans from ₱100,000 to ₱10,000,000.

Leverage.ph discloses all interest rates, fees, and total cost of borrowing in a formal Disclosure Statement before you sign — in full compliance with the Truth in Lending Act (R.A. 3765). Rates are competitive and risk-based, determined by your business profile and loan tenor. There are no hidden fees, no prepayment penalties, and no surprise charges. Contact us or use our online Loan Estimator for a personalized rate indication.

Once approved, loan disbursement is processed promptly.

Question 4

Does Leverage.ph offer no-collateral SME loans in the Philippines?

Accepted Answer

Leverage.ph offers flexible collateral structures for qualified SME borrowers.
