Home / How it works

Four steps, in the right order.

You always know what happens next, what it costs before it starts, and that the decisions stay yours.

1

Free consultation

How long
15 minutes, by phone, at a time that suits you.
What we talk about
Your goal and timeline, where your credit stands today, and what lenders tend to look at for what you want to do.
What it costs
The consultation is free, with no obligation to continue.
2

Your written plan

What it is
A plan in plain language: what to do first, what to do next, and what to leave alone.
Before any paid work
If a paid service would help, we explain exactly what it includes and what it costs, and we put it in a written agreement first.
3

Build, step by step

What happens
You work through the plan in order, personal credit, business credit or both, with check-ins to adjust it as things change.
How long it takes
It depends on your situation and your goal. You'll get a realistic timeline in your consultation, built around where you are today.
4

Apply when you're ready

Your decision
You choose when and where to apply. We help you prepare and understand your options.
Walk in prepared
You'll know what lenders want to see and how your profile measures up, so you apply on your terms.

Before your consultation

  • Your recent credit reports, if you have them. You can request your reports from all three nationwide credit bureaus at AnnualCreditReport.com.
  • Your goal. What you want to finance, roughly how much, and when.
  • For a business: how long it has been operating and how it is set up today.
  • What not to send: your full Social Security number or account passwords. We never ask for them.

The first step is a conversation.

A free 15-minute consultation. No obligation, no pressure.
