FAQ
Questions founders ask about Government Scheme Matchmaking
How do I know which schemes we qualify for?
Eligibility turns on sector, stage, entity type, turnover and state. Tell us those five and the register returns a shortlist, with our view on which are worth the effort at your size.
Is there a cost to applying?
Most schemes have no application fee. The cost is preparation time and, for some, a professional certification. That effort is the reason a shortlist matters more than a long list.
Do we need DPIIT recognition first?
For several central schemes, yes. It is not money in itself, it is the credential that makes a company eligible to apply, which is why it usually comes first in the sequence.
How current is the register?
Every entry is sourced and dated, and status is tracked, because schemes open and close and an out-of-date register is worse than none.
