Businesses, Start-ups and MSMEs, require stage-wise funding for scaling up. Funding can be sourced through Debt (Business Loan, SME Loan, Startup Loan) – even under the various SME Scheme, or through Equity Funding.

Startup Funding or Private Equity Funding (for SMEs) can be sourced through Institutional Investors (Venture Capital, i.e. VCs), or Individuals (Angels, HNIs, u-HNIs). With the introduction of the NSE SME Index, Emerge, eligible start-ups and SMEs can also raise funds through Initial Public Offering (IPO).

Typically, Private Equity funding (or startup funding) is considered ideal for disruptive and innovative businesses or businesses with a scalable model which can give a very high return on the investment by sale, acquisition, merger or public listing within 5-7 years.
