The Problem

A business can be successful and still not be finance-ready.

The vast majority of small businesses were not built with a deliberate financing-readiness strategy. Business credit may be incomplete, information may be inconsistent, owners may rely heavily on personal credit, and the business may not know what lenders are likely to look for.

Essentials helps you work through the foundation step by step. Business credit is important — but it is only one component of overall finance readiness.

You do the work. We provide the roadmap.

Essentials is designed as an automated guidance program. You receive monthly instructions, worksheets and educational material. You complete the work inside your business.

  • No monthly human coaching
  • No manual monthly bureau monitoring
  • No promise of financing or a particular credit score
  • No need to apply for credit simply to create activity
