About Start-Up Loan
Modern startups need a stack of capital sources - bank debt for asset financing, venture debt for runway extension, working capital for receivables, and equity for growth bets. BankBrick structures Start-Up funding from ₹50 Lakhs to ₹50 Crore for DPIIT-recognised startups, growth-stage companies and scale-ups across manufacturing, services, healthcare, hospitality and tech-enabled businesses. We arrange Stand-Up India loans, SIDBI Fund of Funds-linked debt, venture debt from NBFCs and AIFs, CGTMSE-backed working capital, and warm investor introductions through our partner network. Our CAs prepare investor-grade financial models, projections and information memoranda - and our team works with founders facing low CIBIL, GST gaps, or earlier rejections to restructure the proposal and find the right lender.

What is venture debt and when should a startup consider it?
Venture debt is term debt extended to revenue-stage startups - typically after a priced equity round - by specialised NBFCs and AIFs. It is non-dilutive, sized at 20%–30% of the last equity raise, and used to extend runway, fund growth, or finance receivables/inventory between rounds. Ideal once you have a recent institutional cheque and a clear path to the next milestone.
Do I need to be DPIIT-recognised to raise funding through BankBrick?
No, but DPIIT recognition meaningfully expands the options - it unlocks Stand-Up India eligibility, SIDBI Fund of Funds-linked debt, tax exemptions, and improves credibility in front of credit committees. If you are not yet recognised, we help with the DPIIT application as part of the engagement.
Can BankBrick raise equity for my startup?
BankBrick is an advisory and arranger - we make warm investor introductions across angels, family offices, VCs, PE funds, and corporate venture arms in our partner network. We refine your IM, financial model, and pitch - and stand alongside you through diligence. We do not invest directly.
What government schemes are available for startups in 2025-26?
Active schemes include Stand-Up India (₹10L–₹1Cr for SC/ST and women entrepreneurs), SIDBI Fund of Funds for Startups (FFS) which channels capital to SEBI-registered AIFs, the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS), and a range of state-level capital subsidy and credit guarantee schemes. We map your stage and sector to the eligible set.
I am pre-revenue. Can BankBrick still help?
Yes, though options are narrower. Pre-revenue startups typically rely on founder equity, angel rounds, accelerator cheques, and Startup India seed grants. We focus on packaging your IM and projections to attract the right early-stage investors, and on linking eligible government schemes.
