Week 1: Business Plan

Your business plan is the foundation of your business. It’s a roadmap for how to structure, run, and grow your new business. Learn about key elements of an effective plan including your Use of Funds, Financial Projections, etc. to increase your ability to raise capital. Also, we'll help participants get "Seed Capital" at this point.

Week 2: Business Formation

Now that we have your business plan created, it is time to create your business entity. Learn about the key steps, including having a unique business address, filing with the Secretary of State, obtaining your EIN, and opening your business bank account. We'll help you create a fundable business entity.

Week 3: Business Credibility

Learn what banks and lenders look for and understand different types of funding available to start or grow a business. We'll discuss the Three C's (credit, collateral, and capacity) and explore creative ways to legally position your business to be fundable quickly. We'll help you build your Three C's to qualify for funding.

Week 4: Business Funding

Most businesses will need an injection of capital to start, grow, and reach its potential. In this module, we'll review the funding checklist and use our proprietary Lender Match Software to identify the best lender and lending program for your unique circumstances. Thus, we'll help you get business funding.
