Free scorecard · 10 yes/no questions · About 3 minutes
Are your numbers ready for your next financing conversation?
Whether it's a loan, a mission-aligned investor or a sizeable grant, funders say yes faster when the numbers tell the story for you.
The Financing-Ready Scorecard shows you where you stand and what to tighten first.
You'll get your score and a short, personal read from me within one business day.
What the scorecard checks
The same three pillars every funder is quietly testing for.
01
Meaningful Numbers
Current books, true gross margin by line, and a cash runway you can state without guessing.
02
Clear Decisions
A 12-month forecast with real scenarios, a capital need you can defend, and the kind of capital that fits your mission.
03
Consistent Action
A set rhythm for reviewing actuals, a short list of KPIs, and reporting that could survive due diligence tomorrow.
What you'll get back
- Your Financing-Ready Score, out of 10.
- Where you land: Financing-ready, Close, or Strong business with unfinished numbers.
- A personal note from me on the one thing I'd tighten before your next financing conversation.
Free. No spreadsheets required. I'll never share your information.
