About Company
The initial public offering (IPO) of Five Star Business Finance Ltd will hit the street on November 9. Five Star Business Finance is an NBFC-ND-SI (non-banking finance company) that provides secured business loans to micro-entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals, each of whom is largely excluded by traditional financing institutions.
Incorporated on May 7, 1984, Five Star Business Finance is backed by marquee institutional investors such as TPG Capital, Sequoia Capital, Matrix Partners, Norwest Venture Partners, KKR and TVS Capital Funds Ltd.
The company has an extensive network of 311 branches as of June 30, 2022, spread across eight states and one union territory and approximately 150 districts across India, with Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka being the key states.
It had an active loan base of 230,175 and 217,745 as of June 30, 2022, and March 31, 2021, respectively. The company’s growth is primarily volume-led through increasing its customer base while keeping the average ticket size (ATS) stable.
The interest rates on their loans depend on the underlying tenor (which ranges from 2 to 7 years), with approximately 95% of the loans sanctioned being between the interest rate range of 24% to 26% and between the tenure range of 5 to 7 years.
Five Star Business Finance IPO will open for subscription on November 9 and close on November 11. The price band for the issue is fixed at Rs 450 to Rs 474 per share.
The south India-based lender has reduced its IPO size to Rs 1,960 crore from Rs 2,752 crore earlier planned. The issue is a pure offer for sale (OFS) of 4,13,51,266 equity shares aggregating up to Rs 1,960.01 crore.
The proceeds from the offer and all such proceeds will go to the selling shareholders, and the company will not receive any amount.

Five-Star Business Finance Ltd. IPO - SWOT Analysis
Strengths
Five Star Business Finance has the fastest Gross Term Loans growth among its compared peers with strong return and growth metrics and a significant potential addressable market. It has access to diversified and cost-effective long-term financing with a conservative approach to asset liability and liquidity management. The company’s strong on-ground collections infrastructure has led to its ability to maintain robust asset quality.
Weaknesses
The company operates in the small business finance industry, which is getting crowded and highly competitive. The company also gets affected by volatility in interest rates for both its lending and treasury operations, which could cause its net interest income and net interest margin to vary and consequently affect its profitability, result of operations and cash flows. It had negative net cash flows in the past and may continue to have negative cash flows in the future.
Opportunities
The company has demonstrated its ability to successfully expand to new underpenetrated geographies through a calibrated expansion strategy. Its experienced, cycle-tested leadership with an experienced longstanding promoter and a professional management team supported by marquee investors provide further growth opportunities.
Threats
Five Star Business Finance faces the risk of non-payment or default by its borrowers, which may adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition. The COVID-19 pandemic had certain adverse effects on the company’s business, operations, cash flows and financial condition, and the extent to which it, or the effect of outbreaks of any other severe communicable disease, may continue to do so in the future is uncertain and cannot be predicted.
