In today’s fast-moving business world, the success of a small business often comes down to one thing: timely access to working capital.
Whether you need to restock inventory, handle short-term cash flow gaps, or make the most of a seasonal opportunity, getting the funds at the right time can define your next chapter of growth.
While digital apps and traditional loans steal the spotlight, there’s a proven, relationship-based funding method that continues to empower small enterprises across India:
Cheque-based private funding.
So what is it, how does it work—and why is it still so effective?
Let’s break it down.
What is Cheque-Based Private Funding?
Cheque-based funding is a short-term private capital solution where the client (you) provides post-dated cheques (PDCs) as a repayment guarantee.
Each cheque corresponds to an agreed monthly instalment. These cheques are held by the funding provider and deposited on scheduled dates.
This approach works particularly well for small businesses that:
• Operate with cash flow cycles
• Prefer minimal paperwork
• Do not have formal credit scores or financial statements
It’s simple, trusted, and fast—built more on business performance and cheque credibility than red tape.
How Does It Work?

The process is designed for speed and ease:
1. Application
You submit basic details about your business type, turnover, and the purpose of funding.
2. Assessment
Sunrays Finance reviews your bank statements, cheque history, and business flow—not CIBIL or credit scores.
3. Post-Dated Cheques Submission
Once approved, you provide post-dated cheques for the agreed repayment cycle.
4. Disbursal
Funds are released quickly—often within 24–48 hours.
5. Repayment
Each cheque is deposited monthly as per the agreed plan.
Why Is Cheque-Based Funding Still So Relevant?
While digital lending platforms dominate headlines, many small businesses still thrive through trust-based models—especially in:
• Tier 2 & Tier 3 cities
• Cash-centric sectors like retail, events, services
• Businesses without formal credit scores or ITR filings
Cheque-based finance is relationship-driven, human-led, and tailored to how real businesses run—not just how algorithms score them.
Top Benefits of Cheque-Based Funding for Small Businesses
1. Quick Access to Capital
Skip the paperwork marathon. If your cheques are valid and your cash flow supports repayment—you’re nearly there.
2. Fast Disbursal
In most cases, Sunrays releases funds within 1–2 working days.
3. A Human Touch
Unlike automated apps, we speak with you directly to understand your business and tailor your repayment.
4. Better Cash Flow Planning
Fixed repayment dates = predictable outflows. This helps you manage business expenses with more clarity.
5. No Over-Leverage Risk
Funding is offered based on what your business can realistically manage—not inflated digital credit limits.
6. Builds Informal Creditworthiness
Timely repayments establish trust and a private track record for higher-value capital in the future.
Who Is It Perfect For?
