Questions
What owners ask us first
Do I need to be set up already to work with you?
No. Many clients come to us with just an idea. We'll help you form the business and build it the right way from day one, so funding is easier later.
Can a brand-new startup get funding?
Yes. Startups usually have fewer options than established businesses, but microloans, some SBA programs, CDFIs, grants, and certain partner lenders work with new businesses. A solid setup and business plan make a big difference, and we help you with both.
Can you help if my credit isn't great?
Yes. Some funding sources, like CDFIs and microloan programs, work with owners who have limited or imperfect credit. We'll also give you a plan to strengthen your business and personal credit over time.
Do you lend money yourselves?
No. We're consultants, not a lender. We prepare you and your application and connect you with banks, SBA lenders, credit unions, and other institutions that do the lending.
Can you guarantee I'll be approved?
No one honestly can. Lenders make the final decision. What we do is make sure your application is complete, accurate, and sent to lenders that fit your profile, which gives you the strongest possible chance.
What happens on the free consultation?
It's a conversation about where your business is today and where you want it to go. You'll leave with a clear idea of your next steps, whether or not you decide to work with us.
