Common questions

Answers from this page only — not legal or financing advice.

How many sample ideas are listed?

This catalogue lists 1,023 active PMEGP sample business projects you can search and filter. Counts may refresh as the public catalogue is re-scraped.

How do filters work?

Use search plus sector and investment (cost band) filters to narrow the catalogue. Sort options reorder results for comparison — they do not change official sample costs or eligibility.

Are the listed costs guarantees?

No. Project costs are official PMEGP sample figures for discussion. Your actual machinery, working capital, and bank assessment will differ. Always open the official sample PDF and re-cost locally.

Is this a government website?

No. FoundersOffice Idea Browser is an independent discovery and briefing tool — not affiliated with the Government of India, MSME, KVIC, DIC, or any bank. Nothing here is a sanction, loan offer, or guarantee of subsidy.
