Overview
JAC Associates is a business funding consultancy that helps manufacturers, traders and service-based companies secure government-backed funding at competitive interest rates starting from 8% per annum. Their ideal clients need substantial funding to expand operations, increase working capital, buy machinery or scale growth plans.
This funding lead generation case study shows how we built a Meta Ads funnel that filtered out small-loan seekers, ineligible businesses and fake contact details, and delivered 183 qualified ₹5 Crore+ funding leads at ₹102.81 each in 2 months.
The challenge
JAC Associates wanted more than a list of phone numbers. They needed a system that could consistently bring in:
- Manufacturers seeking expansion capital
- Traders requiring working capital
- Service businesses looking for growth funding
- Decision-makers with serious funding requirements
- Businesses eligible for government-backed funding programs
The real problem with funding leads
Most people who fill in a funding enquiry form are:
- Looking for small loans
- Not eligible for the program
- Below the required turnover
- Not serious buyers
- Submitting fake contact details
The goal was to attract only businesses looking for ₹5 Crore+ in funding and filter out everyone else before they reached the sales team.
Strategy: qualify first, then scale
Instead of chasing lead volume, we focused on lead qualification. We designed a complete funnel for high-ticket business funding prospects.
Phase 1: Initial testing
We launched Meta lead generation campaigns with a standard conditional lead form that collected basic details. Leads came in, but many prospects did not qualify for the program, had low turnover, needed smaller funding amounts or were not decision-makers. The quantity was acceptable. The quality was not.
Phase 2: High-intent lead funnel
After analysing the first results, we rebuilt the lead qualification process with four checkpoints: business type, funding requirement, annual turnover and OTP verification, so only eligible, serious businesses reached the sales team.
Execution
The four-step lead qualification form
| Step | What we added | Why it mattered |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Business type | Prospects had to choose Manufacturer, Trader or Service Provider | Only relevant businesses continued |
| 2. Funding requirement | “How much funding are you looking for?” | Businesses below the target range were filtered out |
| 3. Annual turnover | Turnover-based filtering | Businesses below the threshold could not proceed |
| 4. OTP verification | Mobile number verified before submission | Removed fake and duplicate leads and improved contactability |
Creative testing and optimisation
We tested multiple ad creatives and ad copies to find the messaging that attracted serious business owners:
- Angle 1: ₹5 Crore+ government-backed funding. Large funding requirements, government support, competitive interest rates and business expansion.
- Angle 2: Business growth and expansion. Manufacturing growth, working capital support, expansion funding and faster approvals.
- Angle 3: Funding at interest rates starting from 8% p.a. Cost-effective financing, better growth opportunities and long-term scalability.
Audience targeting
The campaign targeted business-heavy markets where funding demand is highest.
- Locations: Mumbai, Pune and Nashik
- Audience: business owners, directors, founders, manufacturers, traders, service businesses and decision-makers

Frequently asked questions
How did JAC Associates get 183 qualified funding leads?
By replacing a simple lead form with a four-step qualification funnel (business type, funding requirement, annual turnover and OTP verification) and testing multiple ad creatives across Mumbai, Pune and Nashik.
What was the cost per lead for this funding campaign?
₹102.81 per qualified lead, with a total ad spend of ₹18,813 over 2 months.
How do you stop fake leads in Meta lead generation?
With OTP verification. Every prospect had to verify their mobile number before submitting, which removed fake and duplicate submissions and made leads easier to contact.
Can this approach work for CA firms, loan consultants and financial advisors?
Yes. Any business that sells a high-ticket service can use the same method of filtering by requirement, eligibility and verified contact details. See our Meta Ads service.
Why filter leads by turnover and funding amount?
Because the sales team’s time is limited. Filtering before submission means every lead that arrives already fits the client’s target profile. For high-intent search leads, you can also explore our Google Ads service.
