How do I buy Hero FinCorp unlisted shares here?

Raise an enquiry on any company with the quantity you want. Our desk sources the shares and comes back with a firm price and allocation. You accept the allocation, transfer the funds to the desk's published bank account, and once we verify payment the shares are transferred into your demat.

Who am I actually transacting with?

You transact with the desk, not with an anonymous counterparty. When you buy, you buy from the desk; when you sell, you sell to the desk. Shares always route through the desk's own demat account, so there's one accountable party for the whole trade.

How do I pay, and is there a payment gateway?

Payment is by direct bank transfer to Prospire Network Private Limited's published account (CIN U82300UP2025PTC233622), shown to you in-app at the payment step. There is no card gateway and no escrow. Never pay to a personal account or to any account shared over phone, WhatsApp or email — even if the person claims to be from our team.

How long does settlement take?

After you accept an allocation, you have a short window to pay (typically 2 days). Once payment is verified, shares are usually credited to your demat within 2–3 business days, subject to depository timelines and any company-level restrictions. Timeframes are typical, not guaranteed.

There are no separate platform fee lines and no GST on the transfer — the desk's margin is built into the buy/sell price you're quoted. The only statutory add-on on a purchase is stamp duty on the consideration, shown transparently in your cost breakdown.

Is there a minimum ticket size for Hero FinCorp?

Minimums vary by company and depend on the lot the desk can source. Raise an enquiry and the desk will confirm the available quantity and the minimum for that name.

What KYC do I need, and do I need a demat account?

You'll share your demat details when you enquire so we can settle directly. Full KYC — PAN and a client-master / demat statement — is required before the transfer step, when shares actually change hands. Yes, you need an active demat account to hold unlisted shares.

Are there lock-ins on unlisted or pre-IPO shares?

Some shares carry statutory or company-imposed lock-ins — for example, a post-listing lock-in on pre-IPO stock — and transfers can be subject to the company's articles or approvals. Where a lock-in applies, we'll flag it before you commit.

How do I sell Hero FinCorp shares I already hold?

Raise a sell enquiry with the company, quantity and your target price. The desk confirms a buying price, you transfer your shares into the desk's demat, and once the credit is verified we pay you out by bank transfer to your registered account. The desk never pays out before your shares are received.

Unlisted shares are illiquid, may be hard or impossible to sell, and are not covered by exchange settlement guarantees or investor-protection funds. Pricing is indicative, not live. Read the full Risk Disclosure before you enquire, and invest only what you can afford to lock away.

With an AUM exceeding Rs 15,000 crore and a clear path to listing, it represents a high-quality pre-IPO financial services opportunity. The company's digital investments and EV financing foray position it well for the next decade of growth.

Pros

Backed by Hero MotoCorp, India's largest two-wheeler manufacturer, providing unmatched brand equity and captive customer pipeline for vehicle finance
One of India's largest unlisted NBFCs with assets under management (AUM) exceeding Rs 15,000 crore, focused on two-wheeler and consumer durable financing
Strong distribution synergies with Hero MotoCorp's dealer network of 6,000+ touchpoints across India enabling low-cost loan sourcing
Diversified product portfolio including two-wheeler loans, personal loans, SME loans, and consumer durable finance reducing revenue concentration
Consistent profitability and healthy capital adequacy ratios positioning it as an IPO-ready entity
Deep penetration in semi-urban and rural India through Hero MotoCorp's extensive dealer ecosystem

Cons

Heavy concentration in two-wheeler financing means performance is directly linked to Hero MotoCorp's market share and overall two-wheeler industry cycles
Unlisted status limits price discovery, liquidity, and access to public capital markets compared to listed NBFC peers like Bajaj Finance
Competitive pressure from banks, other NBFCs (Bajaj Finance, Shriram Finance), and fintech lenders in the vehicle and consumer finance space
Rising interest rates and NPA risks in the unsecured personal loan and SME segments
IPO plans have been discussed for several years without execution, creating investor uncertainty
Asset quality risks in the two-wheeler loan segment, particularly in rural markets with variable income streams

Revenue Model

Frequently Asked Questions

About Hero FinCorp

Hero FinCorp Limited is India's largest two-wheeler financing company and a leading Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) promoted by Hero MotoCorp, the world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer. Incorporated in 1991 and headquartered in New Delhi, Hero FinCorp provides retail financing for Hero MotoCorp two-wheelers, SME lending, loan against property (LAP), and corporate finance solutions across India. The company holds the prestigious distinction of being India's No. 1 Two-Wheeler Financier as of 2020, financing a significant portion of Hero MotoCorp's annual sales of 5+ million vehicles. Beyond its core two-wheeler business, Hero FinCorp has diversified into SME and mid-corporate lending, providing working capital loans, term loans, and bill discounting facilities primarily to Hero MotoCorp's dealer and vendor network. Hero FinCorp's credit profile is exceptionally strong. The company carries CRISIL AA+/Stable, ICRA AA+/Stable, and CARE AA+ ratings — the highest investment-grade ratings for a non-bank financial entity. EBITDA grew 39% over the previous year and book net worth increased by 9.21%, reflecting strong earnings momentum. As of September 2024, the company had a consolidated AUM (Assets Under Management) of approximately Rs 54,283 Cr. The Hero brand equity, deep integration with Hero MotoCorp's 6,000+ dealer network, and captive financing model give Hero FinCorp a structural competitive advantage. Dealers actively channel customers to Hero FinCorp for two-wheeler loans, creating a low customer acquisition cost model. The company has been exploring an IPO for several years, with SEBI filings and Zerodha/Groww listings indicating active IPO preparation. At its scale (Rs 54,000+ Cr AUM), a Hero FinCorp IPO would be one of the largest in India's financial services space.
