The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 categorises enterprises by the original value of investment in plant and machinery; it is up to INR 25 lakh for a micro-enterprise; between INR 25 lakh and INR 5 crore for a small enterprise; and between INR 5 crore and INR 10 crore for a medium-sized enterprise.

Institutional sources comprise central, state and local governmental bodies; commercial banks; co-operative banks and societies; micro-finance institutions; and other institutional agencies. Non-institutional sources comprise moneylenders, business partners, contractors, relatives and friends.
