Walk into the funding
conversation prepared
Most funding applications don't fail on the idea — they fail on the presentation of the numbers. We help you close that gap before you ever sit down with a lender.
How preparation
changed the outcome
A logistics client had been turned down once already and assumed the answer was simply no. It wasn't — the numbers just weren't telling a coherent story.
The situation
A good business, a weak application
Solid contracts, a sound plan, but a funding pack that jumped between figures that didn't reconcile. From the lender's side, it read as risk.
The work
Six weeks of getting it right
We rebuilt the three-year forecast from real drivers, reconciled it to the historical accounts, and wrote the covering narrative so the story and the numbers finally matched. Then we rehearsed the awkward questions.
The result
Approved, at a better rate
The facility came through — and priced better than the client expected, because the risk now read as manageable rather than mysterious.
Application — the one that worked
To a fundable pack
Facility secured
What owners want
to know
Never. We're paid for the preparation work, not the funding, so there's no incentive for us to push you toward a bigger facility than you need.
Commercial banks, the IDC and other development funders, and private and asset-based lenders. We help you match the right funder to the right need rather than applying everywhere at once.
Ideally two to three months before you need the money. Rushed applications read as rushed, and preparation is exactly where the value is.
That's often a good time to talk. A decline usually means the story or numbers weren't clear, not that the business isn't fundable.
We can help you assess and prepare for the ones your business genuinely qualifies for, and tell you honestly when the effort isn't worth the reward.
When it helps, yes. More often we prepare you thoroughly so you can lead the conversation with confidence — it's your business, after all.
