Ask for funds
Most small owners never ask for funding. Some think banks won't listen. Some don't know which scheme fits. Many simply don't have their papers in order. BUILD changes that: we help you get ready, build a file lenders and investors respect, and put it in front of the right people.

Sponsor categories
Seven ways for brands, banks and institutions to support BUILD. Sponsors fund the free course, the tools and the venues, so owners don't have to.
BUILD's presenting partner across every show, Boardroom, the Summit and this website.
Own one of the 42 directory categories, such as Retail or Manufacturing.
Host a city's Boardroom venue, so members never pay a venue charge.
Support Business OPD or BUILD Live on YouTube.
Put your name on a free tool owners use every day, like the GST or profit calculator.
Deliver expert content to owners, with no sales pitch.
Partner the annual Boardroom Summit where India's most improved businesses are recognised.
What a sponsor can never buy: a Boardroom seat, a Chair post, a vote, a member's numbers or their contact details. Everything sponsored is labelled. This is Article 13 of the Constitution.

Your BUILD journey
BUILD365 · the full curriculum
Each lesson has a clear goal, the teaching, an Indian business example, do's and don'ts, a 20-minute exercise, homework and a short quiz. Tick lessons off as you go; your progress stays on this device.
Free tools · work right now
Calculators, a credit book with automatic WhatsApp reminders, a sales register and a month of social posts in one tap. Everything runs on your phone; nothing you type is uploaded.
Enter one month. Variable costs rise with sales (stock, packing, delivery). Fixed costs stay the same (rent, salaries, EMI interest). Example numbers are filled in; replace them with yours.
Pick a message, fill in the details, copy it or open it in WhatsApp. Send only to customers who have agreed to hear from you.
Answer honestly about how you run things today. Yes = 2, Sometimes = 1, No = 0. If you have not started yet, use it as a checklist of habits to build.
Most goods and services now fall in the 5% or 18% slab; luxury and sin goods are at 40%, and some essentials are exempt. Check the rate for your item with your accountant or the GST portal.
Enter what one unit costs you to buy or make, including packing and delivery. Choose the margin you want to keep out of every sale.
Keep every due in one list. Overdue dues rise to the top, and each one has a ready WhatsApp reminder. Saved only on this device.
Write one line at closing time: today's sales and today's expenses. The week adds itself up. Saved only on this device.
Check the monthly EMI and what the loan really costs. Compare it with your monthly profit, not your sales.
Choose your business and goal. You get 30 days of post ideas with format and caption starters for Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp Status.
