Helping Small Business Owners Make Smarter Funding Decisions
Many business owners apply for funding without fully understanding their options — which can lead to unnecessary declines, unfavorable terms, or avoidable financial pressure. The Funding Readiness Assessment (FRA™) provides a personalized snapshot to help you better understand your funding readiness, identify which Funding Zone™ your business may be in, and determine whether funding could improve or drain your cash flow.

Introducing: The Funding Zone™
The FRA™ helps you identify which Funding Zone™ your business is operating in: Growth, Stuck, or Drowning. Each zone calls for a different next step.
- Growth: expanding — the goal is to scale strategically with the right capital.
- Stuck: stable — but momentum is limited by cash flow or bottlenecks.
- Drowning: under pressure — stabilization comes before growth.
This doesn’t label you — it identifies the zone your business is in right now, so you can make the right move with confidence.
Cash flow issues are one of the leading reasons small businesses struggle.
A U.S. Bank study found that 82% of small businesses fail due to cash flow problems. Many owners don’t realize their funding structure may be contributing to hidden strain — which is why checking your funding readiness matters.
