MSME Registration FAQ

Yes! Even a business started yesterday can register as MSME. The Udyam portal accepts self-declared figures — a startup with zero revenue registers as a Micro enterprise. This immediately makes you eligible for MUDRA loans up to ₹10 lakh, GeM marketplace selling, and startup-specific government schemes.

No. Sole proprietors don't need any prior business registration. You just need your personal Aadhaar and PAN. For partnerships, you need a partnership deed. For Pvt Ltd / LLP, the company/LLP must be incorporated first. But sole proprietors and informal businesses can register as MSME directly.

Immediately! Your Udyam certificate is valid from the day of registration. You can apply for MUDRA loans the same day, register on GeM marketplace within 48 hours, and begin the process for CGTMSE loans immediately. The sooner you register, the sooner you can access funding and opportunities.

Most agents just file your form and send a certificate. We take a growth-partner approach. After filing, we give you a personalised scheme report, loan eligibility analysis, and ongoing support. We help you actually benefit from your registration — not just hold a certificate.

Just 2: (1) Aadhaar card of the owner/proprietor/authorized signatory, (2) PAN card of the business or owner. For companies/LLPs — also GSTIN if registered. No physical documents, no CA certificate, no balance sheet required. Everything is done via Aadhaar OTP verification.

NIC (National Industrial Classification) codes classify your business activity. Selecting the right NIC code is important — wrong codes can affect your scheme eligibility. Our team selects the correct primary and secondary NIC codes based on your actual business activities, ensuring you qualify for all relevant sector-specific schemes.

We file your application the same day you contact us. The Udyam certificate is generated immediately after Aadhaar OTP verification. Total time from first contact to certificate in hand: typically 2–6 hours. We guarantee delivery within 24 hours.
