You're Not Broken.
You Just Don't Know What Lenders Actually Check.

You're Stuck

You know you're capable. Your business is real. But every lender application feels like guessing. You're stuck between "expensive funding you can get" and "bankable rates you can't access."

It's Bleeding You Dry

Every month at 35%+ interest costs you thousands. Every rejection chips away at confidence. You're working harder to go half as fast, and it's not your fault.

SBA Loan Denial Rate (2024)

Source: Federal Reserve Small Business Credit Survey. Nearly half of all SBA applicants are rejected because they don't meet compliance requirements.

It's Not Your Fault

Lenders check dozens of signals most business owners don't even know exist: compliance items, banking behavior patterns, credit reporting consistency. You're being rejected by math, not people.

What Actually Changes When You Join

The mechanism of transformation

Without Membership

Guessing in the Dark

  • You guess at what lenders want
  • You fix the wrong things (personal credit, revenue chasing)
  • You waste 6-12 months on irrelevant actions
  • You stay in expensive funding (35%+ interest)
  • No visibility on what changed or why
With Membership

Seeing the System

  • We complete 13 compliance items FOR YOU (business name/address consistency, banking requirements, entity verification)
  • We add 7-10 vendor tradelines (report to Experian, build business credit)
  • Monthly dashboard shows EXACTLY what changed (150+ data points)
  • We pre-qualify you with 75+ lenders who are approving businesses like yours TODAY
  • CFO calls show EXACTLY what to prioritize (not generic advice)
  • 72% moved up ≥1 tier using this exact system

The difference isn't effort. It's information. You can't fix what you can't see.

Understanding Your Bankability Tier (0-3)

0
Tier 0: Invisible

No compliance, no credit history. Only access to very expensive funding (35%+). Most lenders won't even review your application.

1
Tier 1: Fundable

Expensive rates (15-25%), short terms, limited options. You can get approved, but it's costly.

2
Tier 2: Bankable

Better rates (8-12%), longer terms, $150K-$500K access. Banks compete for your business.

3
Tier 3: Prime Bankable

Best rates (6-9%), institutional terms, $500K-$2M+ access. You're in the top 1% of borrowers.

The $1 scan shows you exactly which tier you're in right now, and the specific path to move up.

The "Fundable" Trap

Getting approved for funding is easy. Getting approved for funding that doesn't bleed your business dry is hard.

High-Risk "Fundable" Options:
  • 25-50% interest rates
  • 12-24 month terms (short repayment = high monthly cost)
  • Under $100K limits
  • Daily/weekly payment requirements
Bankable Options:
  • 7-12% interest rates
  • 3-7 year terms (longer repayment = lower monthly cost)
  • $150K-$500K+ limits
  • Monthly payment schedules

Anyone can get you "funded." We help you become bankable, where the terms don't kill your business.

What Credit Score Do Lenders Actually Check?

What Most Services Focus On

Dun & Bradstreet "80" score, which only makes up 5% of what banks actually check.

10,000+ lenders (banks, credit unions, SBA) no longer use this as their primary decision factor.

What Banks Actually Check

FICO SBSS (Small Business Scoring Service), you need at least a 160 to qualify for bankable rates.

Most business owners have never even heard of this score, but it's the #1 factor in approval decisions.

We show you exactly what FICO SBSS measures and how to build it to 160+. That's the difference between guessing and knowing.

Questions We Hear

Honest answers to common concerns

"What if I'm too far behind?"

68% of Tier 0 members moved to Tier 1+ within 6 months. The sequence works regardless of starting point. Sarah went from completely invisible (Tier 0) to bankable (Tier 2) in 8 months using Foundation tier.

"What if I can't afford it right now?"

Foundation is $49/mo. If you're paying 35% on a $50K loan, you're spending $1,458/month in interest. This reduces that cost. The membership pays for itself if you're carrying any high-interest debt.

"What if I don't have time?"

Foundation requires ~2 hours/month (1 dashboard review, 1 group call). Structure adds 1 hour/quarter. Leverage adds 1 hour/month. You're already spending time applying for funding, this just makes it more effective.

"What if this doesn't work for my industry?"

We have members in 47+ industries (home services, e-commerce, construction, consulting, tech, real estate, logistics, healthcare, and more). The Capital Ladder is universal, lenders care about FICO SBSS, bank behavior, and compliance regardless of industry.

"What if I just need funding NOW?"

Membership doesn't delay current funding, it improves future funding. If you're Tier 0, you'll only access expensive funding now anyway. If you're Tier 1, you'll access 15-25% now. Join, get funding, AND start improving your position for next time.

"What if I cancel after the trial?"

You keep your scan results forever. You keep access to the vendor credit directory. You lose ongoing dashboard updates and CFO guidance. 83% of trial members continue past 7 days because they see value immediately.

Still have questions? Email us. We're operators, not salespeople. If this isn't right for you, we'll tell you.

"Will I still need to personally guarantee loans?"

Here's the honest truth: if your business is under 3 years old OR under $1M in revenue, most banks, credit unions, and SBA lenders will require a personal guarantee. That's how business lending works in 2025.

But here's what DOES change when you're bankable:

  • Lower personal credit score requirements (680 vs. 720+)
  • Limited guarantees instead of unlimited guarantees
  • Smaller personal asset requirements
  • Better protection structures through proper entity setup

We can't eliminate personal guarantees for young businesses, but we CAN minimize your personal risk exposure while building toward corporate-only credit.

"What about those 0% business credit cards I keep seeing?"

Business credit cards CAN be useful, but there's a trap most owners don't know about:

⚠️ The Hidden Trap:

If you're even ONE day late on payment, that 0% interest disappears and flips to 34.99% retroactively. Not 30 days late, ONE day. Miss the due date by 2 days and your 0% deal is gone forever.

Also important to know:

  • These cards are based on YOUR personal credit (not truly "business credit")
  • You personally guarantee them
  • In business lending, "late means late" (no grace period)

Better approach: Use them strategically as part of a larger plan, but don't rely on them as your primary capital source. We show you how to use them correctly without the risk.
