# Green loan check for MSMEs

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/green-loan-check

A two-minute, one-tap-per-question check of what a credit team will look for in a green loan or sustainability-linked application, and where your business stands today. The result is a preparation checklist, not an eligibility decision.

## What the check asks

1. What your business does, how much funding you need and your turnover range.
2. What the money will go into: rooftop solar, efficient machinery, cleaner fuel, electric vehicles, or a waste or water upgrade.
3. Whether you know your carbon footprint, measured from your own invoices and bills.
4. Two basics: GST registration and income tax returns for recent years.

## Why the carbon footprint matters

A green loan application asks you to show the environmental benefit of the project. A footprint measured from your own invoices and bills is that evidence. Senseible reads one electricity bill or fuel invoice and shows the emissions behind it, keeping the source document as proof.
