NBFC Takeover?
An NBFC takeover simply means an acquirer NBFC (the NBFC which wants to take over) purchases the target NBFC (an already existing RBI-registered NBFC). After the takeover, all the assets, liabilities, shares, etc., of the target NBFC will belong to the acquirer NBFC.
However, in certain cases, an NBFC may also consider surrendering its NBFC license if it no longer wishes to operate within the regulatory framework, or if the business model has changed significantly. Surrendering an NBFC license must be done in accordance with RBI regulations to ensure there are no outstanding liabilities or compliance issues.
Why Opt for an NBFC Takeover?
With credit demand at an all-time high in India, acquiring a pre-registered RBI-approved NBFC offers an efficient route to enter or expand in the financial sector. The streamlined takeover process, now simplified by the Reserve Bank of India, allows you to bypass complex registration and gain immediate market access in just 50-65 days.
Quick Market Entry:
Establishing a new NBFC is lengthy and requires extensive approvals. An acquisition enables instant market access with a fully licensed entity.
Pre-Approved Licenses:
Avoid licensing challenges by inheriting all existing approvals with an established NBFC.
Operational Framework:
Start with experienced teams, infrastructure, and an existing client base.
Diversification Opportunities:
Expand into lending, investment, or other financial services by acquiring a licensed NBFC.
Regulatory Compliance:
Leverage NBFC's compliance history to ensure smooth, regulation-aligned operations.
Things to Consider:
- Background Verification: To assess potential impacts on your business, a thorough check needs to be done on the target NBFC’s history, capital structure, and management efficiency.
- Goal Setting: The acquirer NBFC should define its financial objectives for the acquisition and ensure alignment with the target NBFC’s capabilities.
- Market Exploration: The acquirer entity should review available acquisition opportunities to make an informed decision.
- Financial Stability: Should assess one’s financial readiness and the target’s financial position to optimize your acquisition strategy.
