Get Funded: How to Prepare Your Business for Capital Success

Access to capital is the fuel that powers business growth—but most companies hit roadblocks before they ever get in front of a lender or investor. From messy financials to missing documentation, even strong businesses struggle to tell a compelling financial story. That’s why Crawford Business Consulting created a Funding Readiness Program—to help you package your value and secure the funding you need to scale.

Capital is available—but it's competitive. Banks and investors are inundated with requests. To rise above the noise, your business needs to present itself as both high-potential and low-risk. That means having not just a strong idea but a bulletproof financial plan, validated projections, and documentation that instills confidence.

Here’s what our Funding Readiness Program includes:

Funding Focused Plans

🔹 High-Impact Business Plan Creation

Your business plan isn’t just a document—it’s your business case. We help you craft a compelling, lender-ready narrative with a clear value proposition, growth potential, market data, and risk mitigation.

🔹 Financial Forecasting & Cash Flow Planning

Lenders want to see numbers that make sense. We create forward-looking financials—revenue forecasts, cash flow projections, cost models, and break-even analysis—to demonstrate how your business will perform under real-world conditions.

🔹 Investor Pitch Development

Whether you're applying for a line of credit or pitching to angel investors, how you present matters. We develop investor-grade decks, pitch narratives, and executive summaries tailored to different capital sources.

🔹 Compliance & Documentation Readiness

We audit your existing documentation to ensure it's complete, clean, and compliant. From articles of incorporation to tax filings, financial statements to contracts—we help you assemble a funding file that’s ready to go.

Capital Access Isn't About Desperation—It's About Preparation.

Financial Projections

At Crawford, we don’t just help you “try harder”—we help you qualify faster. Our team connects you with trusted funding sources—from SBA lenders to private investors—and ensures your presentation is optimized for success.

A retail business came to us seeking growth capital to expand into a second location. They had great sales—but their financials were disorganized, and their business plan hadn’t been updated in years. We helped them refresh their strategy, model their next 24 months of growth, and build a fundable pitch deck. The result? A $250,000 SBA loan and a thriving new store.

Why It Matters Now:

In today’s climate, capital isn't just for survival—it’s a strategic advantage. Whether you’re funding equipment, hiring, expansion, or marketing, having access to the right money at the right time gives you momentum your competitors won’t have.

Are you capital-ready—or just hopeful? Let’s make sure your business stands out.
