The Challenge
Craftline Furniture Studio, a bespoke furniture workshop in Chennai, had a growing order book from interior designers and hospitality clients but had outgrown its current workshop capacity. To fund a larger unit and new equipment, the founder needed a clear, bank-ready business plan — something the workshop had never had to put together before.
Our Approach
- Documented the existing order pipeline and repeat-client revenue to build a credible, evidence-based sales forecast rather than an optimistic estimate.
- Prepared a lean business plan covering workshop expansion costs, equipment financing, and a realistic 18-month cash flow.
- Structured the loan application around the exact documentation format the local MSME lending scheme required.
- Built a simple break-even model showing exactly how many additional monthly orders the new capacity needed to service the loan.
We'd been turning away large orders for a year because we didn't have the paperwork a bank would take seriously. Five weeks later, we had both the loan and a plan we actually use to run the business.
The Results
Working closely with the Craftline Furniture Studio founding team, we translated research and financial rigor into a document set that satisfied both operational scrutiny and funding requirements.
