Watch a Fundable File Come Together
Every SBA file a lender approves goes through the same four stages — Foundation, Understand, Narrative, Deliver. Skip one, and the file falls apart before a lender ever sees it. SBA Mastery teaches you to build it right, stage by stage.
A Fundable File Isn’t Luck. It’s Built.
Most people approach SBA financing without knowing what a lender is actually looking for, or in what order. The FUND Method replaces that guesswork with a repeatable path — so you understand your numbers, your story, and your file before a lender ever sees it.
Foundation
Know what you’re working with before you build anything — your numbers, your structure, and what a lender will look for first.
Understand
Read your tax returns, cash flow, and debt the way a lender does — so nothing in your file surprises you later.
Narrative
Turn your numbers into a story a lender can follow and trust — the part most files skip entirely.
Deliver
Submit a file built to hold up under underwriting — not a stack of documents hoping to survive it.
