How the platform works

BenefitStack works in four steps — from a quick assessment through to a filed application.

Step 1 — Take the eligibility assessment

Answer seven questions about your company: entity type, business stage, sector, state, annual revenue, company name, and year of incorporation. The entire flow takes under three minutes. No documents needed at this stage.

You can fill this in yourself, or — if you are part of a partner cohort — your accelerator or incubator manager may fill it on your behalf.

Step 2 — Review your matched schemes

BenefitStack's matching engine runs your profile against every active central and state government scheme in its database. Your results page shows:

• Each scheme you qualify for, with a short description and the type of benefit (grant, subsidy, tax benefit, loan guarantee)
• The estimated total potential value across all matched schemes
• The documents you would need to gather for each scheme

Step 3 — Choose your track

For each scheme you want to pursue, you choose how to apply. Self-apply gives you a step-by-step guide. CA-assisted connects you with a verified accountant who handles the filing. The incubator route routes through your partner organisation if one is linked.

Step 4 — Track progress on your dashboard

Your dashboard shows every scheme you have started pursuing, the current status of each application, and any actions required from you. If you are using the CA-assisted track, your CA updates the status as the case progresses through review, filing, and outcome.
