HISTORY

Finance is a field of specialization that studies all aspects


of obtaining money and making decisions about the allocation
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

of that money. There are many segments of this field by type—


corporate finance, finance, municipal finance, not-for-profit
finance, and personal finance. This brief discussion will be an
overview of corporate finance in the economy in India. In
the India, major corporations and the financial institutions with
which they associate are regulated by the INDIA. Treasury,
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

which implements fiscal and monetary policies and the.


Congress, which enacts laws and regulations, intersect in their
interests. A driver of finance in the  Is the goal to maintain full
employment and to achieve a specified level of economic
growth. Corporate finance is critical to such a goal.

FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

  We will continued helping customers go further by


providing innovative financial services to help them get ahead.
Through prosperity, depression, and war, customers have
turned to Wells Fargo for the solutions they needed to survive
and thrive. The company is the largest gold financing company
in India in terms of loan portfolio. It provides personal and
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

business loans secured by gold jewellery, or Gold Loans,


primarily to individuals who possess gold jewellery but could not
access formal credit within a reasonable time, or to whom credit
may not be available at all, to meet unanticipated or other
short–term liquidity requirements.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

The company’s customers are typically small


businessmen, vendors, traders, farmers and salaried
individuals, who for reasons of convenience, accessibility
or necessity, avail of its credit facilities by pledging their
gold jewellery with it rather than by taking loans from
banks and other financial institutions. It provides retail
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

loan products, primarily comprising Gold Loans. The


company also disburses other loans, including those
secured by Muthoot Gold Bonds. The company’s Gold
Loans have a maximum 12 month term.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

INDIAN TRADITION :
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

A prevailing trend from the medieval period, most


Indians invest more than half of personal savings
physical assets such as land, houses, gold, livestock, and
other precious metals and ornaments.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

The Indian money market is classified into: the


organised sector (comprising private, public and foreign
owned commercial banks and cooperative banks,
together known as scheduled banks); and the
unorganised sector (comprising individual or family
owned indigenous bankers or money lenders and non-
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

banking financial companies (NBFCs)). The unorganised


sector and microcredit are still preferred over traditional
banks in rural and sub-urban areas, especially for non-
productive purposes, like ceremonies and short duration
loans.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi nationalised 54 banks in


1969, followed by six others in 1980, and made it
mandatory for banks to provide 40% of their net credit to
priority sectors like agriculture, small-scale industry,
retail trade, small businesses, etc. to ensure that the
banks fulfill their social and developmental goals. Since
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

then, the number of bank branches has increased from


10,120 in 1969 to 98,910 in 2003 and the population
covered by a branch decreased from 63,800 to 15,000
during the same period. The total deposits increased 32.6
times between 1971 and 1991 compared to 7 times
between 1951 and 1971. Despite an increase of rural
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

branches, from 1,860 or 22% of the total number of


branches in 1969 to 32,270 or 48%, only 32,270 out of
500,000 villages are covered by a scheduled bank.

Since liberalisation, the government has approved


significant banking reforms. While some of these relate to
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

nationalised banks (like encouraging mergers, reducing


government interference and increasing profitability and
competitiveness), other reforms have opened up the
banking and insurance sectors to private and foreign
players.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

As of 2007, banking in India is generally mature in


terms of supply, product range and reach-even, though
reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the
private sector and foreign banks.[7] In terms of quality
of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are
considered to have clean, strong and transparent balance
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

sheets relative to other banks in comparable economies


of Asia.[7] The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous
body, with minimal pressure from the government .

GDP CONTRIBUTION OF FINANCE COMPANY


FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

India’s financial services industry has


experienced huge growth in the past few years. This
momentum is expected to continue. India’s private
wealth management Industry shows huge potential. India
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

is expected to have 6.11 lakh HNWIs by 2025. This will


indeed lead India to be the fourth largest private wealth
market globally by 2028. India’s insurance market is also
expected to reach US$ 250 billion by 2025. This will
further offer India an opportunity of US$ 78 billion of
additional life insurance premiums from 2020-30.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

India is today one of the most vibrant global


economies on the back of robust banking and insurance
sectors. The relaxation of foreign investment rules has
received a positive response from the insurance sector,
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

with many companies announcing plans to increase their


stakes in joint ventures with Indian companies. Over the
coming quarters, there could be a series of joint venture
deals between global insurance giants and local players.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

The Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) is


targeting a nearly five-fold growth in AUM to Rs. 95 lakh
crore (US$ 1.47 trillion) and more than three times
growth in investor accounts to 130 million by 2025.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

India’s Fintech space is expected to further fuel this


growth in various segments. India's mobile wallet
industry is estimated to grow at a Compound Annual
Growth Rate (CAGR) of 150% to reach US$ 4.4 billion by
2022, while mobile wallet transactions will touch Rs. 32
trillion (USD$ 492.6 billion) during the same period.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

According to Goldman Sachs, investors have been


pouring money into India’s stock market, which is likely
to reach >US$ 5 trillion, surpassing the UK, and become
the fifth-largest stock market worldwide by 2024.

FEASIBILITY STUDY
Meaning :
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

When companies want to start a new project or activity,


they need to think and plan before they can begin. It is
because they want to ensure the new project or activity
will be successful and not waste their time, money, or
resources. To do this, they can use a “feasibility study.” A
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

feasibility study helps companies determine their idea’s


risks, benefits, and costs.

Then they can decide if it’s a good idea to go ahead with


it or not. Feasibility study examples include evaluating
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

new business opportunities to see how much return the


business may generate.

A feasibility study is a detailed analysis that considers all


of the critical aspects of a proposed project in order to
determine the likelihood of it succeeding.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Success in business may be defined primarily by return


on investment, meaning that the project will generate
enough profit to justify the investment. However, many
other important factors may be identified on the plus or
minus side, such as community reaction and
environmental impact.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Although feasibility studies can help project managers


determine the risk and return of pursuing a plan of
action, several steps should be considered before moving
forward.

FUNCTIONS OF FINANCE COMPANY


PRIMARY FUNCTIONS
The finance company is an entity that lends money to
individuals and businesses. The revenue sources of
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

finance organizations are the fees they charge while


processing loans and the annual percentage rate (APR)
they charge on loans given. According to Nasdaq, the
primary function of finance companies is to make loans to
individuals; they don't receive deposits as banks do.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Finance companies borrow money from sources such


as the Federal Reserve System and commercial banks at
a low interest rate and lend it at a higher interest rate.
This is the reason the interest rates charged by finance
companies are higher than the interest rates charged by
banks. Companies and individuals turn to finance
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

companies when they don't qualify for bank loans. The


functions of finance companies are to offer both
unsecured and secured loans to individuals and
companies.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Offer Secured Loans

According to Corporate Finance Institute, collateral is an


asset that the borrower offers to the lender to secure a
loan. If the loan isn't repaid, the collateral becomes the
property of the lender.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

An auto loan is a secured loan because the vehicle serves


as collateral for the loan. If the borrower doesn't repay
the loan, the lender takes possession of the vehicle.
Finance companies prefer to offer secured loans to people
because they present much lower risks than unsecured
personal loans. If the borrower doesn't repay the money
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

as per the agreed terms, the finance company can seize


the collateral and auction it on an open market.

Finance companies look at credit history while offering


secured loans too. The rate of interest or annual
percentage rate (APR) might rise if the credit history of
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

the borrower is poor when taking out an auto loan, even


if the loan includes collateral.

Offer Business Loans

Finance companies extend loans to businesses as well.


For example, a company can approach a finance
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

company when it wants to lease or purchase office


equipment such as computers or machinery. Most finance
companies also offer factoring services to businesses.

Factoring is a financial transaction wherein the


organization sells its accounts receivables to a third party
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

at a discount to meet its immediate cash needs. For


example, a manufacturing firm can sell its accounts
receivables worth $100,000 to a finance organization at a
discount of 10 percent. In this case, the manufacturer
receives $90,000 from the finance company for
immediate working capital needs.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Lend to Purchase Products

Sales-based finance companies extend loans to


customers of a few retailers. For example, borrowers can
take a loan from a sales-based finance company to
purchase a refrigerator from a home appliance company.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC), which


lends money to customers of General Motors who
purchase vehicles, is an example of sales-based finance
companies.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Finance companies, like banks, come up with equitable


monthly installment (EMI) plans. Customers are
encouraged to select a suitable EMI plan based on
monthly earnings and available disposable income after
accommodating the mandatory monthly expenses.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

MARKETING STRTEGY
The 5 Most Effective Marketing Strategies for
Financial Services:
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

1. Customer Outreach
2. Self-Service and Digitization
3. Social Media
4. Automation and Big-Data
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

5. Digital Storytelling

1. Customer Outreach
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Customer outreach is one of the oldest and


simplest marketing strategies for banks and
financial institutions to adopt. However, it’s also
one of the most effective. Customer outreach is
quite simply the concept of reaching out to
customers to fill existing needs surrounding
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

education, awareness, and help. This scales to a


small organization in the form of free consultations
and webinars and to larger ones in the form of
financial education such as debt management
programs or financial education in schools.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Why does it work? Customer outreach may seem


like a largely philanthropic use of budget, but it
works to build awareness, customer loyalty, and
interest in products and services. A carefully
formulated financial marketing strategy takes the
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

services and features you are trying to sell and


other marketing campaigns into consideration. For
example, if you know that students are going back
to school, you could focus customer outreach
around programs for teaching college students to
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

manage money on their own, towards saving for


college, or budgeting to save up for a car. If you
know your geographic area has a large percentage
of seniors, you could create free financial education
programs teaching seniors to use digital banking
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

and about online security. These programs would,


in turn, promote savings accounts, digital
solutions, and even your bank through awareness
and increased consumer trust.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

2. Self-Service and Digitization


Where baby boomers and previous generations
largely preferred to receive products through sales
representatives who could advise them and set up
personalized (or not) accounts for them,
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

millennials and Generation Z often want to do


everything themselves with as little contact with
human representatives as possible. Setting up and
promoting digitized financial products and
customer service or experience portals that enable
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

customers to sign up for services online, change


products and services online, and view their
information without going into a branch is an
effective and increasingly necessary trend for
financial organizations. However, it is not a
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

marketing strategy that applies to every


organization, as you may not sell products only
services.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

3. Social Media
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

81% of the india population is on a social media


account and many use social for up to 4-5 hours
per day. Your smart and consistent use of one or
more social media platforms is a valuable financial
marketing strategy that you cannot afford to
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

ignore. Millennials, Generation Z, and even Baby


Boomers use social media platforms to connect
with brands, learn from peers, and follow current
events and news. Maintaining a steady presence
on one or more sites with a strategy in place to
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

offer value to followers will help you to build brand


trust, create marketing opportunities, and grow
your customer base.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Many financial and banking organizations use


social media to connect with consumers for the
purpose of building trust. For example, by showing
that real people work at banks and in financial
services, showcasing customers and success
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

stories, and delivering customer service. For


example, financial organizations can typically cut
the cost of customer service by over 70% by
switching from phone to social media. A good
social media marketing strategy requires smart use
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

of storytelling, content, and creative humor as well


as consistency and the willingness to offer value
for the customer rather than the bank. However, it
is well worth the effort in terms of building trust,
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

awareness, and relationships with consumers in


their space.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

4. Automation and Big Data

Most financial organizations have more data than


they know what to do with, but that is quickly
changing. Today, customer experience platforms
and automation tools make it easier than ever to
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

utilize and apply data as part of your marketing


strategy for financial services. For example, big
data can tell you who is saving up for a big
purchase and most likely to need pre-approval for
a loan, big data can help you identify and offer
services before or after they are needed, it can
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

help you to target specific customers for additional


customer service or digital financial education, and
can help you to cut down on needed customer
service.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

5. Digital Storytelling

Storytelling is still one of the most effective


marketing mediums, whether on social media,
video, ads, or cross-channel platforms extending
into the real world. Here, your marketing strategy
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

should encompass telling a story that captures


interest and evokes emotion to interest, excite,
and move the viewer. Here, your goal is to create
relatable and shareable content which can educate,
entertain, or help the reader in some way – and
hopefully manage all three at once.

PROJECTED FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF COMPANY


FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

A financial institution (FI) is a company engaged in


the business of dealing with financial and monetary
transactions such as deposits, loans, investments,
and currency exchange. Financial institutions
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

include a broad range of business operations within


the financial services sector, including banks,
insurance companies, brokerage firms, and
investment dealers.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Virtually everyone living in a developed economy


has an ongoing or at least periodic need for a
financial institution's services.

Financial institutions often match savers' or


investors' funds with those seeking funds, such as
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

borrowers or businesses seeking to trade shares of


ownership for funds. Typically, this leads to future
payments from the borrower or business to the
saver or investor. The tools for matching all of
these parties up include products such as loans,
and markets, such as a stock exchange.1
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

At the most basic level, financial institutions allow


people to access the money they need. For
example, although banks do many things, their
primary role is to take in funds—called deposits—
from those with money, pool the deposits, and
lend the money to others who need funds. Banks
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

are intermediaries between depositors (who lend


money to the bank) and borrowers (who the bank
lends money to).
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

This works well because while some depositors


need their money at any given moment, most do
not. So banks can use deposits to make long-term
loans. This applies to almost every entity and
individual in a capitalist system: individuals and
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

households, financial and nonfinancial firms, and


national and local governments.

The Function of Financial Institutions in Capital


Markets
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Capital markets are important for functioning


capitalist economies because they channel savings
and investments between suppliers and those in
need. Suppliers are people or institutions with
capital to lend or invest. Suppliers typically include
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

banks and investors. Those seeking capital are


businesses, governments, and individuals.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Financial institutions play an important role in


capital markets, directing capital to where it is
most useful. For example, a bank takes in deposits
from customers and lends the money to borrowers,
ensuring capital markets' efficient function.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Regulation
Governments oversee and regulate banks and
financial institutions because the institutions play
an integral economic role. Bankruptcies of financial
institutions, for instance, can create panic. Federal
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

and state agencies can regulate financial


institutions. Sometimes, multiple agencies regulate
the same institution.
Federal Depository Regulators
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Federal depository regulators oversee commercial


banks, thrifts (savings associations), and credit
unions accepting customer deposits.
1
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

U.S. Federal Reserve (The Fed): Regulator of


Federal Reserve System member state banks,
foreign banking organizations operating in the
United States, and financial holding companies.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC):


The OCC is responsible for seeing that national
banks and federal savings associations operate
safely, provide equal access to financial services,
treat customers fairly, and comply with applicable
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

laws and regulations. It also regulates U.S. federal


branches of foreign banks and federally chartered
thrift institutions.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC): The
FDIC regulates federally insured depository
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

institutions, state banks that aren't members of


the Federal Reserve System, and state-chartered
thrift institutions.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

National Credit Union Administration (NCUA):


NCUA supervises and insures federally chartered or
insured credit unions.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Federal Securities Markets Regulators


Two federal institutions regulate products,
markets, and market participants for securities
such as stocks, bonds, and derivatives.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): The


SEC regulates securities exchanges, broker-
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

dealers, and corporations selling securities to the


public; investment funds, including mutual funds;
investment advisers, including hedge funds with
assets over $150 million; and investment
companies.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC):


The CFTC regulates futures exchanges, futures
commission merchants, commodity pool operators,
commodity trading advisors, derivatives, clearing
organizations, and designated contract markets.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Government-Sponsored Enterprise (GSE)


Regulators
These dedicated regulators exclusively oversee
government-sponsored enterprises, which are
quasi-governmental entities established to
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

enhance the flow of credit to specific sectors of the


U.S. economy.
3
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Federal Housing Finance Agency: The FHFA


supervises, regulates, and performs oversight of
the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie
Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the Federal Home


Loan Bank System.
6
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Farm Credit Administration: This agency regulates


Farm Credit System institutions and Farmer Mac,
credit sources for eligible persons in agriculture
and rural America.
7
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Consumer Protection Regulator


Currently, the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau (CFPB) is the only national consumer entity
tasked with exclusively regulating consumer
products. CFPB's purview includes nonbank
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

mortgage-related firms, private student lenders,


payday lenders, and other large “consumer
financial entities,” as determined by the CFPB.
CFPB is the rulemaking consumer protection
authority for all banks and has supervisory
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

authority for banks with more than $10 billion in


assets.
1
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

State Regulators
States may regulate financial institutions in
addition to or instead of federal regulators. For
example, there is minimal federal oversight of the
insurance industry. Each state government has a
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

department that licenses and regulates insurance


companies and any company selling insurance
products. States may also regulate banking,
securities, and consumer protections in addition to
federal regulators who work in those areas.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Types of Financial Institutions


Financial institutions offer various products and
services for individual and commercial clients. The
specific services offered vary widely between
different types of financial institutions. Here are
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

some of the types consumers are most likely to


use:

Banks, Credit Unions, and Savings & Loans


FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

These financial institutions accept deposits and


offers checking and savings account services;
make business, personal, and mortgage loans; and
provides basic financial products like certificates of
deposit (CDs). They may also act as payment
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

agents via credit cards, wire transfers, and


currency exchange.

These types of financial institution can include:


FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Commercial or private banks


Savings and loans associations
Credit unions
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Foreign banks
Savings banks, industrial institutions, thrifts
Investment Companies, Advisors, and Brokers
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Investment companies issue and invest in


securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETFs
or exchange-traded funds).
9
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Mutual funds are one example of a product offered


by an investment company, where many investors'
money is pooled and invested in stocks, bonds,
money market instruments, other securities, or
even cash in an ongoing manner.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Other examples of investment-related financial


institutions include investment advisors and
brokers. Brokers accept and carry out orders to
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

buy and sell investments (such as securities) for


customers.
10
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Insurance Companies
Among the most familiar non-bank financial
institutions are insurance companies. Providing
insurance for individuals or corporations is one of
the oldest financial services. Protection of assets
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

and protection against financial risk, secured


through insurance products, is an essential service
that facilitates individual and corporate
investments that fuel economic growth.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Insurance is primarily regulated at the state level,


but the U.S. Treasury's Federal Insurance Office
(FIO) does monitor the industry and plays an
advisory role.
FINANCE COMPANY PROJECT REPORT

Why Are Financial Institutions Important?


Financial institutions are essential because they
provide a marketplace for money and assets so
