Look strong on paper, at home and in business.
Bankable is my field guide to the money basics I wish I had learned earlier: a budget that runs itself, a personal credit cleanup, the right structure for your company, and business credit from net 30 to a credit line.
Starting at $27. 18 page printable PDF guide and workbook.
The problem
Money is a mirror, not a scoreboard.
When Finance is flat, the whole wheel wobbles. Stress follows you home, you say no to good opportunities, and the business never quite looks ready to a lender.
Most founders never got a simple system. We figure it out as we go, mix personal and business money, and hope the credit side sorts itself out.
The fix is not a bigger income first. It is a clear picture, a budget that runs on autopilot, clean credit, and a business that looks real on paper.
What you get
Personal first, then the business.
18 printable pages. Fill it in with a pen or on a tablet.
Know your numbers
A one page money snapshot: assets minus debt and money in minus money out.
A budget that runs itself
Four accounts, one plan and a 15 minute weekly money meeting.
Credit and structure
A 90 day personal credit cleanup plan and an entity and separation checklist for your CPA.
Business credit and capital
The tier ladder from vendor net 30 accounts to a credit line, the 5 C's lenders look at, and a readiness file.
How it works
Snapshot. Automate. Clean up. Build.
Start tonight. Rough numbers are fine.
Snapshot
Fill in the money snapshot on page 4. It is your starting line, not your identity.
Automate
Set up the four account budget and hold your first 15 minute money meeting.
Clean up
Pull all three credit reports and work the 90 day cleanup plan.
Build
Separate the business, then climb the business credit tier ladder.
Who it is for
For founders who want their money to look as strong as their work.
- Founders and business owners who mix personal and business money today.
- Couples who want one simple plan and a weekly money meeting that does not turn into a fight.
- Anyone who wants business credit or capital someday and wants to get ready the right way.
- People of faith who want to steward money well, not just earn more of it.
Not for you if you want a get rich quick trick. This is the boring, faithful work that makes you bankable.
A note from Brandon
Lenders look at you before they look at your company.
I'm a tech founder, a husband of 20 years and a dad of five boys. I learned most of this the hard way, by building businesses and making the money mistakes first.
That is why this guide starts with your personal budget and credit, then moves to the business. Do it in that order and every next step gets easier.
