These financial literacy programs are specifically aimed to educate every individual in India on the essentials of finance and commerce such as what are low interest home loans, what are mutual funds, and what are fixed deposits. Where there is much ado about the importance of at least basic financial literacy for an individual, the advanced level of financial literacy is a must for the success of small and medium size businesses, especially for the startups.

The ability of an individual to take well-informed , calculated, and wise decisions related to finance on tax savings, low interest home loans, andunsecured business loans, etc., is called financially literacy.Here's how financially literacy is imperative to have for the small and medium size businesses because it has a direct impact on:
1. The profitability and revenue generation of a business. This depends on how smart and effective the financial strategy has been laid out, for which the advanced level of financial literacy is a must.
