Prepare before you approach the bank.
Most business loan rejections don’t happen because the business isn’t profitable, they happen because the owner wasn’t prepared.
My book walks you through exactly what banks expect before they say yes. From preparing your financials to disclosing liabilities and improving your credibility, this step-by-step guide helps you:
✅ Understand why traditional banks rarely finance startups
✅ Organize your documents before you apply
✅ Avoid red flags that lead to loan denials
✅ Present your business with confidence
You’ll discover what banks really look for and how to meet those standards without guesswork, confusion, or wasted time.

Because the wrong partner can cost more than a bad loan.
Business partnerships are easy to start but hard to end. My latest book helps you ask the right questions before signing anything - questions that reveal how a potential partner thinks, manages money, handles stress, and makes decisions.
Inside, you’ll find over 250 thought-provoking questions organized by category, including:
✅ Roles, responsibilities, and decision-making
✅ Conflict management
✅ Long-term vision and values
✅ Exit strategies
This book isn’t just about avoiding mistakes, it’s about protecting your peace, purpose, and profit.
Why You Need Both Books
Clarity and Confidence
Together, these books form a foundation for smart business decisions. One helps you prepare for the bank. The other helps you prepare for people. Because when you’re clear on your numbers and your partnerships, you lead your business from a position of strength, not survival.
