Start with a free assessment, get an advocate-signed legal notice within 24 hours, settle if the buyer responds (60% do), and file MSME Samadhaan, Section 138 or a summary suit in Hyderabad if not. Nothing upfront; 30% only on recovery.
Business in Hyderabad: where dues come from
Hyderabad combines a large pharma and engineering base in Jeedimetla, Balanagar and Pashamylaram with IT services in Hitec City and Gachibowli. Suppliers here often sell to other states on 60 to 90 day credit, and service invoices to IT and real-estate buyers stall in approval chains. FundRaksha is headquartered in Madhapur, so Hyderabad cases get the fastest turnaround on notices and hearings.
Main industries: pharmaceuticals and bulk drugs, IT and IT-enabled services, engineering and electrical equipment, real estate and construction, food processing and agri-trading.
