Business Funding & Finance
Updated October 17, 2025
Business finance can feel intimidating. These calculators, tools, and other resources make it easier to plan, fund, and grow your business.
This free Google Sheets tool makes it easier to figure out how much funding your business really needs — and where it might come from. It walks you step-by-step through your startup or expansion costs, existing funds, and potential financing sources to show how big your funding gap actually is.
It’s a practical, real-world way to see whether your plan adds up before you start applying for loans or pitching investors. You can adjust assumptions, test different scenarios, and see instantly how changes affect your total funding need.
Highly recommended for any entrepreneur preparing to fund a business.
If you’re applying for a business loan or trying to figure out how to fund your business, our free Facebook group is worth joining. It’s a private community where you can post your questions — about SBA loans, lenders, loan rejections, or anything else related to business funding — and get answers directly from me and my team.
We share practical insights that lenders usually keep to themselves, and help you understand what steps to take next. Whether you’re preparing to apply, reviewing an offer, or starting over after a rejection, this group will help you get unstuck and make real progress toward getting funded.
If you're looking to get angel or venture capital investors and are in the process of creating your pitch deck, this is the single most useful book I'd recommend to you. It takes you through the process of creating your pitch deck, finding and reaching out to investors, and preparing your investor pitch. Excellent, excellent book! I really can't say enough good about this book. I've personally recommended it to probably 300+ people by now. If you're creating an investor pitch deck and are only going to buy one book - this would be the one I'd recommend.
