IF YOU'RE READY TO APPLY

Here's your next move

You didn’t come to play. You came to conquer.


We see you. We celebrate you. We expect great things from you.

Set a Reminder to Check This Page Weekly - We update it regularly with grants, loan programs, and other funding opportunities.

Apply strategically. - You’re not just sending applications — you’re sending invitations to invest in your greatness. Bookmark any grants, lenders, or competitions that align with your business and your goals

Set deadlines and hit them like the boss you are. - Grant funding is gold. When you find an opportunity that fits your business, treat it like a priority, not an afterthought. Block time in your workweek to complete applications — serious growth demands serious action.

Stay ready, so you don’t have to get ready. - Funding is a milestone, not a finish line. Keep updating your business portfolio, growth strategy, and funding plans — because success demands staying ready for what’s next.

Bring your final questions and plans into your coaching sessions. - We’ll sharpen your strategy and help you stay two steps ahead.








Not Ready to Apply Yet? That’s Okay!

Here’s Your Game Plan

If you’re not ready to submit applications or feel unsure about what to apply for, follow these three steps first:

If you're still working on these pieces, don't stress — this is part of the process.

Build Your Business Portfolio. Make sure you have your core documents prepared (business plans, pitch deck, financials, etc.).

Refine Your Growth Plan — and Back It With Action - Get clear on your short- and long-term goals — and be ready to prove them.

A strong growth plan isn’t just a dream — it’s a set of vetted, confirmed, and actionable steps. This means:

Retail or Commercial Expansion:
Secure a signed lease or purchase agreement, and confirm environmental and zoning conditions.

Operational Growth:
Get official vendor quotes for inventory, equipment, renovations, or upgrades.

Professional Services and Contractors:
Vet consultants and contractors, and gather formal service proposals.

Funders want proof you’re ready to move their money responsibly.

Develop Your Funding Strategy: Know where you’re going before you apply - Identify the right funders for your business model and stage; avoid wasting time with sources that don’t align with your needs; understand your business through the lens of a funder’s priorities; and prepare for the application or underwriting process with confidence
