Funding
FUNDING READINESS, BEFORE THE FUNDING CONVERSATION.
START-UPS CURE helps founders understand the funding routes available, determine an indicative capital requirement and prepare the business for structured capital discussions.
Potential Funding Routes
EIGHT ROUTES. DIFFERENT EXPECTATIONS.
Each route assesses a business differently. Understanding which route fits is the first step in preparing for it.
Venture Capital
Institutional capital for businesses with demonstrated traction and a credible path to scale within a defined market.
TRACTION TO SCALE
Bank Finance
Lending from banking institutions, assessed against financial position, security, documentation and repayment capacity.
REVENUE GENERATING
Debt Finance
Non-dilutive borrowing structured against cash flows or assets, where the business can service a repayment schedule.
REVENUE GENERATING
Government Support
Central and state programs that support entrepreneurship, innovation and enterprise development, subject to eligibility.
ALL STAGES
Grants & Subsidies
Programme-linked grants and subsidies awarded against defined criteria, typically requiring structured documentation.
IDEA TO GROWTH
Project Finance
Funding structured around a specific project, assessed on the project's own costs, phasing and financial viability.
PROJECT-BASED
Founder Capital
Capital contributed by the founding team, which materially influences how external funding routes assess the business.
ALL STAGES
Funding suitability depends on business stage, financial position, eligibility, documentation, market opportunity and the requirements of the relevant funding provider.
Funding Preparation
WHAT A PREPARED BUSINESS LOOKS LIKE.
Preparation is what turns a funding conversation into a productive one. These are the four areas that consistently matter.
Financial clarity
A model that explains revenue drivers, cost structure, margin and the capital required to reach the next milestone.
Documentation
Financial statements, registrations, agreements and the supporting records a reviewer will ask to see.
Business narrative
A clear account of the problem, the customer, the market and why this team is positioned to execute.
Capital plan
How much is required, what it will be used for, and what it is expected to achieve.
Government Subsidies & Grants
PROGRAMS THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO YOUR BUSINESS.
Central and state programs support entrepreneurship in defined ways. Eligibility, benefits and documentation differ substantially between them.
Government Subsidies
Typically linked to enterprise category, sector, location and the qualifying activity defined by the scheme.
Startup Grants
Generally recognised startups within a defined age and turnover threshold, with an innovation or scalability element.
MSME Support
Enterprises registered under the applicable MSME classification with valid registration details.
Innovation Programs
Businesses working on a technology, product or process innovation with a demonstrable development plan.
Availability, eligibility and approval are subject to the relevant government program and its prevailing rules.
