Most people start a business missing half of what makes it fundable. This is the complete checklist — the same foundation we build for our Elite clients. Tick through it, see where you stand, and know exactly what's left.
Establish your business correctly — the foundation everything else stands on.
The right structure for your goals, protection, and growth.
Articles of organization or incorporation, filed correctly.
Your business's federal tax identity — required to bank and borrow.
The document that defines and legitimizes how your business runs.
Keep your personal name and address off the public record.
The signals lenders read before they read your application.
A domain-based address — never a personal one.
A line that signals permanence and legitimacy.
Proof your business is real, active, and serious.
Separate your finances and build banking history.
Verified, consistent listings that make you findable and credible.
Your gateway to a business credit profile.
Borrowing power that stands on its own, independent of you.
Starter tradelines that begin reporting your business credit.
The business credit score lenders check first.
Build from starter accounts to real revolving capital.
Turn a fundable business into a funded one.
Still a key to your business's earliest funding.
Know your position before you ever apply.
Documents, narrative, and numbers aligned to approval.
Pursue the right capital, from the right lender, the right way.
