Entrepreneurship acts as the life blood to the development of any economy. Entrepreneurs are the national assets which have to be cultivated, motivated and nurtured in order to increase productivity in the economy. Given the pivotal role played by entrepreneurs, policymakers worldwide are concerned about alleviating the constraints relating to this trade. Financing is one of the major bottlenecks in the conduction of business. In India 95% of the Industrial units belong to small business which are started and operated by mostly uneducated people who have lack of awareness about the sources of finances available and the various schemes offered by the government. We review two major streams of financing namely funding through government schemes and funding through private institutions. We then introduce a framework that provides a snapshot of various financing sources available to budding entrepreneurs in India. Our aim is to increase awareness among potential and existing entrepreneurs about how they can overcome financing constraints in their business.
