One-time costs

These include registering a company or LLP, a trademark (₹4,500 government fee a class for startups, individuals and MSMEs), your website, equipment and office deposits. Replace the starting figures with real quotes.

Monthly burn

Salaries usually make up most of a startup’s monthly spend, followed by rent and marketing. Keep a line for accounting, GST and ROC compliance so penalties do not eat into your runway.

Runway

Runway is how many months your cash lasts at the current burn. Many founders aim for 12 to 18 months before raising money. Revenue growth stretches the runway, so try different growth rates.

Ways to stretch it

Register for Startup India to access tax benefits and easier compliance, consider an LLP if you will not raise equity, and outsource accounting instead of hiring early.
