Game-Changers for D2C Start-ups
The Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) business model is booming in India. From fashion and cosmetics to food and tech products, start-ups are building direct connections with their customers. But behind the scenes, many founders struggle with cash flow, investor reporting, financial planning, and regulatory compliance, which can slow growth and create unnecessary stress.
This is where Filing Point’s Virtual CFO services become a game-changer.

The Need for Cost-Effective Financial Expertise in D2C
Most early-stage start-ups cannot afford a full-time CFO. However, the need for strong financial management is critical from day one, especially when navigating investor expectations, managing operational costs, and planning growth strategies.
