Are you running a growth-stage business and looking for financing to scale?
Apply for the AP ScaleUp Investment-Readiness & Financing Program to access expert advisory, raise up to Rs. 6 Crore in subsidized financing, and unlock co-working spaces, B2B linkages, and more.
You Built Something Real. Now the Capital Gap Is Holding It .
You’ve got paying customers, a proven working model, and a clear line of sight to your next stage of growth. But when you go looking for capital to get there, you hit the same wall every founder does:
- Banks want collateral you’d rather not risk, and paperwork that eats months.
- Interest rates make the numbers stop working before you even start.
- The people writing cheques don’t understand your business, your market, or your value chain.
Where conventional lenders see risk, we see potential. We believe in your model and invest to help you scale.
Check If You're Eligible:
Three conditions. If all three describe your business, apply.
- Your business has been operating for two years or more.
- You are a startup or a small and growing business in the manufacturing or service sector, with eco-friendly practices.
- You are based anywhere in Pakistan.
One program. Three things every scaling founder needs.
