Write a business funding-readiness recommendation
See this course’s project requirements
A fictional funding request with verified uses, owner contribution, cash capacity, loan-term comparison, collateral questions and a go/no-go recommendation.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- A funding-use table and source/term verification questions.
- A balanced or gap-flagged sources-and-uses schedule.
- A repayment-capacity worksheet with numerator definition and downside gap.
- A business-loan term/proceeds/cost scorecard.
- A collateral/guarantee question map for qualified review.
- A completed fictional small-business loan-readiness packet.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- All supplied records reconcile and the decision uses the named case rules.
- Calculations show units, intermediate values and a second check.
- Changed-input practice revises the affected result and identifies uncertainty.
- The final project combines six lesson records, separates fictional assumptions from current rules, and states a supported next step.

The idea in everyday life
This is an original fictional practice case. No account, payment, personal record or outside participation is required. Case uses $9,000; proposed sources $8,500; base available cash $9,000/debt service $6,000; stress cash $5,400; collateral/guarantee terms unresolved.
A well-built request can validly conclude revise or defer when cash, funding or terms fail; readiness is not approval.
Write a business funding-readiness recommendation — worked practice
A well-built request can validly conclude revise or defer when cash, funding or terms fail; readiness is not approval.
Use paper or a local table; label all amounts as fictional USD unless the case names another unit. Case uses $9,000; proposed sources $8,500; base available cash $9,000/debt service $6,000; stress cash $5,400; collateral/guarantee terms unresolved.
Funding-readiness decision inputs
Paste at A1.
| AInput or record | BSupplied value |
|---|---|
| Uses USD | 9000 |
| Proposed sources USD | 8500 |
| Base available cash USD/year | 9000 |
| Stress available cash USD/year | 5400 |
| All debt service USD/year | 6000 |
| Collateral and guarantee terms | Unresolved |
Copy as plain text
1. Step 1: List the unresolved financing and operating gates
List the unresolved financing and operating gates.
You should see: $500 funding gap, stress shortfall $600 and unknown security terms.
A well-built request can validly conclude revise or defer when cash, funding or terms fail; readiness is not approval.
2. Step 2: Separate base success from stress failure
Separate base success from stress failure.
You should see: Base coverage 1.5; downside coverage 0.9.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
3. Step 3: State a justified readiness action
State a justified readiness action.
You should see: Revise/defer the request until the funding gap and downside plan are addressed and terms reviewed.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
4. Step 4: Assemble the request packet
Assemble the request packet.
You should see: Uses, sources, cash definitions, terms, security questions and evidence-based next action are included; no lender contact or application is required.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
What to finish
A completed fictional small-business loan-readiness packet.
Watch for this
Calling a complete request an approved or funded loan.
How can I tell I understand it?
Combine funding gaps, repayment stress and unresolved terms into a readiness recommendation on the supplied changed case while preserving the stated rule and checking the final record.
