Absolutely. Indian companies from across sectors such as infrastructure, manufacturing, NBFCs and startups (under certain conditions) can raise funds from overseas lenders through ECBs, subject to RBI guidelines. This route is often used by companies looking for capital expansion, refinancing or to fulfil the working capital needs where foreign currency borrowing is viable.

At ILO Consulting, we assist Indian businesses with:

• Assessing eligibility under RBI’s directives
• Identifying and reaching out to credible foreign lenders like banks, financial institutions, and private credit funds

We follow a process of understanding your business objectives and provide a tailored solution for your financial needs through strategic cross-border fundraising.

Investors, domestic and international, are generally drawn to businesses that show strong growth potential, scalable model, backed by experienced leadership, and clear exit opportunities. A well-organized business with strong financials and distinguished market position significantly increases investment appeal.

We assist corporates from varied industries in preparing investor-ready documents like business plans, financial models, and pitch decks; identify and reaching out to right investors based on their stage and sector; supporting with due diligence, negotiations and finalization of term sheets and investment agreements.
