Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw material price volatility

    PVC resin and adhesive compound prices fluctuate frequently affecting working capital requirements

  • Quality certification timeline

    ISO 9001 and BIS certification process takes 6-12 months post-installation affecting market credibility

  • Working capital for inventory

    30-45 days inventory cycle requires additional working capital beyond initial investment for raw materials and finished goods

  • Power backup requirement

    Uninterrupted power supply essential for coating process quality; UPS/battery backup or generator mandatory
