If you are an entrepreneur or running a small business, you already know that growth requires more than just hard work—it requires legal credibility and financial support.
At Akshaya Centre, we help local businesses transition from “unorganized” to “government-recognized” using two powerful tools: Udyam Registration and the FSSAI License.
Udyam Registration: The Gateway to MSME Benefits
Udyam is the official recognition for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in India. Even a small home-based unit or a retail shop can register.
Why it matters for scaling:
Collateral-Free Loans: Access government schemes like CGTMSE, which allow you to get business loans without pledging your house or property.
Lower Interest Rates: Most banks offer a 1% to 2% interest subsidy for Udyam-registered businesses.
Payment Protection: By law, your buyers must pay you within 45 days. If they delay, you are entitled to compound interest.
Electricity & Patent Subsidies: Save on operational costs with rebates on electricity bills and up to a 50% discount on Trademark/Patent filings.
FSSAI License: Building Trust in the Food Industry
If your business involves anything related to food—manufacturing, packaging, or even just selling—an FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) license is mandatory.
Why it matters for scaling:
Consumer Trust: Seeing the 14-digit FSSAI logo on your menu or packaging tells customers your food is safe and hygienic.
Expansion to Delivery Apps: You cannot list your business on platforms like Swiggy or Zomato without a valid FSSAI number.
Legal Safety: Avoid heavy penalties and stay compliant with Kerala State Food Safety standards.
