Funding Readiness
Become the business lenders compete to fund.
Funding readiness isn't a credit score — it's a structure. Here's how lenders actually evaluate you, and how to engineer a yes.
What Lenders Look For
The five pillars of fundability.
01
Entity Structure
Properly formed, in good standing, and matched to your funding goal.
02
Business Credit
Established tradelines, paydex, and reporting profile.
03
Personal Credit
Score, utilization, and inquiry behavior aligned to lender tiers.
04
Financial Health
Revenue trends, cash flow, and clean banking history.
05
Presentation
How your numbers and narrative are packaged at submission.
