By stage
Funding for early-revenue startups
193 verified programmes in the CapEasy funding directory. Every entry links to its official source.
Once there is revenue the funding mix changes: grants get scarcer, and credit-based instruments — working capital, interest subvention, credit guarantee — become realistic because there are financials to assess.
This is also the point at which the cost of poor compliance shows up. Lenders and scheme evaluators both look at filings, and an overdue annual return is a slower problem to fix than it looks.
Reviewed July 2026. Government programmes change — always confirm current eligibility, amounts and deadlines on the official programme page before applying.

Frequently asked
Questions founders ask.
The programmes listed on this page all accept applicants at the early revenue stage. They differ in instrument — grant, subsidy, loan or equity — and in who runs them, so read the benefit type on each card before applying.
For most central schemes and many state schemes, yes. DPIIT recognition is free, done online, and gates a large share of the funding in this directory, so it is usually the first step rather than an afterthought.
The directory is re-checked on a rolling basis against official sources and programmes that close are removed. Each entry links to the official page, which remains the position of record — always confirm there before you apply.
