What goes into startup costs?

Starting a business in India involves more than just the product. A realistic startup budget covers one-time setup costs (registration, equipment, deposits) plus several months of running costs before you become profitable. Underestimating either is the most common reason new businesses run out of cash. Use this calculator to build a complete picture before you launch.

Typical startup cost categories

  • Registration & legal: Company/LLP registration, DSC, professional fees
  • Licences: GST, FSSAI, trade licence, factory licence (sector-dependent)
  • Premises: Security deposit + first few months' rent
  • Equipment: Machinery, computers, furniture, fittings
  • Inventory: Initial stock or raw materials
  • Branding & marketing: Logo, website, launch campaigns
  • Working capital: A buffer to cover operations until revenue stabilises
