How a client who just paid becomes a funded client with 0% business credit cards. Eight steps, one gate, one clock.
What the client gets
$30K to $75K
Round one, typical
$100K+
Full sequence target
30 to 90 days
Optimization before funding
The gate
Nothing moves to funding until every box is true
700+ score, no negatives, same info on all 3 bureaus
Every card under 30% utilization, not the average
4+ personal accounts, 3 revolving in the client's name, one with a $10K+ limit
2+ years average age
LLC 30+ days old, consulting NAICS 541611, home state
The branches
Where the plan forks
Cash on hand: Chase first. No cash: Elan and Amex first, no deposit needed, liquidate, then open the deposit banks
Negatives on file: 5KO packet, results in 5 to 10 business days
LLC bad or missing (about 90%): file fresh the same day, open checking right away
3 negative inquiries on a bureau: stop that bureau, remove, continue
The clock
The client never waits on us
Red at 48 hours pending, purple at 96
Waiting on a bureau, bank or client does not stop the clock
Blocked: escalate in Slack the same day
Every call ends with the next call booked
