Founder's watchlist

Mistakes that cost time, money, and standing

From hundreds of engagements, here are the patterns that cause founders and businesses to come back to us in distress. Avoid these and you've already won 70% of the matter.

M01

UNREALISTIC revenue projections

Aspirational vs achievable. Banks discount aggressive projections. Capacity utilization too high Year 1 (should be 60% Year 1 → 90% Year 3-4). Industry benchmarking essential.

M02

DSCR BELOW 1.5x

Key bank ratio for term loan. DSCR = (EBITDA + Depreciation) / (Interest + Principal). Below 1.5x = rejection likely. Must be maintained throughout repayment period.

M03

UNDERESTIMATED project cost

Missing equipment quotations (banks insist 3 minimum), inadequate contingency (5-10%), pre-operative expenses ignored, working capital margin low. Comprehensive estimation essential.

M04

WRONG SCHEME selection

MUDRA vs PMEGP vs Stand-Up India vs CGTMSE vs Startup India — significantly different eligibility + benefits. SC/ST/Women → Stand-Up India; First-gen → PMEGP; Innovation → Startup India + 80-IAC.

M05

INADEQUATE market analysis

Market sizing without target segment focus, weak competition analysis, demand drivers unclear. Porter's Five Forces + segmental data + competitor profiling needed.

M06

MISSING ANNEXURES

Equipment quotations (3 minimum), land documents, building estimates, audited financials, statutory correspondence. Comprehensive checklist + early gathering.

M07

WEAK promoter profile

Inadequate background, missing CA-certified net worth, weak track record. Comprehensive CV + ITR (3 years) + group profile + experience evidence essential.

M08

STATUTORY APPROVAL gaps

Environmental clearance overlooked (Cat A/B), pollution control not assessed, sector-specific licenses missed, CLU not planned. Comprehensive approval mapping with timelines essential.

M09

NO sensitivity analysis

Revenue scenarios + cost scenarios + capacity scenarios + interest rate scenarios + DSCR sensitivity — banks specifically scrutinize. Comprehensive analysis with mitigation strategies needed.

M10

IGNORED working capital cycle

Days Inventory + Receivable - Payable cycle critical. Affects working capital limit assessment. Industry benchmarking essential.

M11

NO professional certification

CA-certified financials + Engineer/Architect for technical + Promoter declaration + ICAI Standard SA 540 compliance for estimates. Bank scrutiny strict.

M12

NO 80-IAC strategy for startups

100% tax exemption 3 of 10 years (DPIIT-recognized + IMB-certified). Significant savings ₹50L-5CR+. Must plan + apply through IMB. Section 56(2)(viib) Angel Tax exemption parallel.

M13

CGTMSE NOT INVOKED when applicable

Collateral-free up to ₹2 CRORE (recently revised from ₹1 CR). For micro + small enterprises (Udyam-registered). Banks must register; check at application stage.

M14

NO state subsidy planning (RIPS 2024)

Rajasthan-specific capital subsidy 5-30% + interest subsidy 5-7% + GST/Stamp duty reimbursement. Thrust sectors + employment-linked benefits. Significant impact on project viability.
