Why 30% of MSMEs Don't Survive Year One
India's MSME sector powers 110 million jobs. Yet beneath the growth story lies a structural trap — compliance costs, funding gaps, and regulatory complexity that even experienced founders struggle to navigate.
1,450+
Regulations Annually
MSMEs navigate 50+ laws — labor, environment, GST, FSSAI — costing ₹13–17 lakh/year per unit in compliance alone.
40%+
Revenue to Government Costs
GST (18%), TDS (10%), corporate taxes (25%), plus hidden informal costs — a silent partnership draining growth capital.
200–300
Founder Hours on Paperwork/Year
Every hour spent on filings is an hour not spent building product, acquiring customers, or training teams.
30%
MSMEs Fail in Year 1
Regulatory fatigue, not poor products, kills most early-stage MSMEs. Compliance complexity is the #1 silent killer.
₹87L Cr
MSME Credit Gap in India
Lack of bankable project reports and financial structuring blocks MSMEs from accessing institutional credit and government schemes.
30% GDP
But Underserved by Advisors
MSMEs power 30% of India's GDP and 45% of exports — yet most lack access to the strategic advisory available to large corporates.
These challenges have structured solutions. Shiva Consultancy Group has solved them for 167+ companies.
