When you’re running a small business, access to the right capital at the right time can mean the difference between surviving and scaling. But what if you could get a clear picture of your current financial position—and discover options that traditional lenders won’t even mention? That’s exactly what the Fundswell Success Scan offers. It’s more than a credit check. It’s a strategic blueprint that can transform your funding outlook.
In this blog, we’ll take a look at what happens before and after a Fundswell Success Scan and how this one simple step can uncover valuable, often overlooked financing opportunities.
1. Clarifies Your Real Lending Profile (Success scan)
Most entrepreneurs assume they know how lenders view their business. But in reality, many are surprised to discover that what lenders see is often incomplete—or worse, inaccurate.
A Fundswell Success Scan dives into:
- Business credit history
- Revenue health
- Existing debt load
- Banking relationships
This comprehensive review highlights gaps and strengths in your business profile. According to NerdWallet, even minor inaccuracies can impact loan approval odds. Our scan corrects the record—and prepares you to apply with confidence.
2. Reveals Financing Options Banks Don’t Offer
Traditional banks often overlook minority-owned or early-stage businesses, labeling them as high-risk. This creates a frustrating barrier for innovative entrepreneurs with strong ideas but limited collateral.
The Success Scan identifies:
- Alternative lenders who cater to niche industries
- Working capital loans based on cash flow (not credit score)
- Equipment financing, invoice factoring, and merchant advances
Sites like Nav outline many of these financing types, but our scan tailors results to your business situation.
3. Quantifies How Much You Can Actually Borrow
Many small business owners don’t know what size loan they actually qualify for—or how much they should responsibly borrow. The Success Scan produces a data-driven borrowing range that includes:
- Current eligibility limits
- Prequalified offers (if available)
- Interest rate expectations
This personalized insight replaces guessing with strategy, empowering business owners to act quickly when funding is needed.
4. Uncovers What’s Holding You Back
Often, a single issue—like poor bank account management or thin business credit—can sabotage funding opportunities. The Success Scan points out these barriers and delivers actionable advice to fix them.
For example:
- Tips to build business credit quickly
- Guidance on separating personal and business finances
- Steps to boost average daily balances
The U.S. Small Business Administration offers general guidance (SBA Credit Building Guide) (source), but our scan breaks it down based on your real-time data.
5. Maps a Clear Path Forward
The greatest value of the Success Scan is the clarity it brings. Once business owners see the full picture—from risk factors to opportunities—they can take bold, strategic action.
Some typical outcomes include:
- Identifying immediate funding options
- Creating a roadmap to qualify for better loans
- Positioning for growth through smart capital planning
One client (name withheld for privacy) came to us after being denied by three banks. After the scan, we helped them secure a $150,000 working capital loan from a private lender—based on cash flow, not collateral. Their business revenue has since doubled.
There’s a world of financing opportunity beyond traditional banks—and most business owners never even know it’s there. The Fundswell Success Scan is your flashlight in that dark room. It reveals your current standing, shows you what’s possible, and helps you build a smarter, stronger funding plan.
Whether you’ve been denied in the past or just want to make sure you’re not leaving money on the table, this scan could be the most valuable 20 minutes you spend this year.
