Capital Readiness Assessment
A short Yes/No assessment to identify common preparation gaps before pursuing commercial financing.
What Does the Capital Readiness Assessment Do?
The Capital Readiness Assessment is a six-question Yes/No checklist that helps a business owner see which common preparation items, such as the use of proceeds, current financials and debt obligations, are in place before seeking commercial financing. It is not a credit score or an approval.

Choose Yes or No for each statement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Capital Readiness Assessment FAQs
What should I do about a No answer?
Treat it as a preparation task. The capital readiness guide and the documentation guide explain what funding sources typically ask for.
Is a high score a financing approval?
No. It only shows how many preparation items you have in place. Eligibility and approval depend on the funding source's underwriting.
