Let’s cut straight to it. Trying to grow your business without funding feels like watching opportunities pass you by while your bank account stays frozen in place.
Do any of these sound painfully familiar?
💳 Funding Rejections Left and Right
You’ve lost count of how many times you’ve heard, “Unfortunately, we can’t approve your application at this time.”
💤 Sleepless Nights Over Cash Flow
Worrying about covering payroll, paying vendors, or whether your business will survive another quarter.
🚧 Dead Ends at Every Turn
Watching other businesses scale with ease while you're stuck wondering what secret playbook they must be using to land $50K–$250K in approvals.

💼 Imagine walking into any business funding conversation with confidence—knowing exactly how to present your business the way lenders, banks, and institutions want to see it.
💳 Imagine approvals rolling in because your business is structured the right way, your lender compliance is airtight, and you’ve tapped into the databases the top 1% use.
🔥 That’s exactly why I created the *Foundation to Funding Challenge—to help entrepreneurs like you stop guessing, get structured, and start securing real capital.
Hosted by Hannibal Collins of "Finlit Forum". this is your opportunity to learn exactly how to secure business funding—consistently and strategically. Over the course of three focused days, you'll gain the blueprint to properly structure, organize, and fund your business—even if you're just getting started or rebuilding from scratch.
Say goodbye to random denials and hello to real approvals.
Over 3 transformational days, we’re going to stop “hoping for help” and start building real financial momentum.
Whether you're starting from scratch or already filed your 501(c)(3), this challenge will walk you through EVERYTHING you need to lead like a founder AND think like a funding banker.
Before you ever apply for a business credit line or loan, lenders need to see that your business is structured, compliant, and credible. On Day 1, we’ll lay the groundwork to ensure your entity looks like a *low-risk, high-reward* investment.
You’ll Discover How To:
Set up the essential documents and infrastructure lenders expect to see
Build and strengthen your business credit profile the right way
Align your business structure with what banks and lenders actually look for
Understand the 15+ types of business funding available—and how to position your business to access them fast
(most people get this part completely wrong)
This is where most business owners slip up—not because they’re lazy, but because no one ever taught them how lenders actually think. On Day 2, we crack open the compliance checklist and get your business ready for serious funding.
You’ll Discover How To:
Make sure your business passes the “underwriter sniff test”
Avoid the red flags that get applications denied (even when you think you did everything right)
Optimize your business credit scores across key bureaus like Dun & Bradstreet, *Experian Business, and **Equifax Commercial*
Get access to vendor accounts, credit cards, and lenders that report to build your credit fast

Now that your business is structured, compliant, and credit-ready—it's time to go get the bag. On Day 3, we show you the exact steps to secure real approvals from lenders, credit card companies, and banks that actually say "yes."
You’ll Discover How To:
Apply to backdoor banks and relationship-based lenders that want to fund small businesses
Stack approvals using our Leverage LEGOs™ strategy for up to $100K–$250K in business credit
Position your business for lines of credit, no-doc loans, high-limit cards, and fleet accounts
Avoid high-interest traps and get capital without putting your personal credit or assets at risk

You’re an aspiring business owner sitting on a powerful mission but your big idea feels stuck because you have no idea how to secure startup funding or handle financial paperwork.

You’ve already launched your entity, but constantly feel like your bank account is running dry. You need consistent funding, and you're tired of begging for funding options or burning through your own savings

You’ve applied for loan after loan many times but the paperwork is overwhelming and the rejections keep coming. It feels like cracking a safe without knowing the combination.

No. This challenge is perfect for aspiring founders who haven’t registered yet. Day 1 is all about helping you understand the correct legal structure, forms, and filings—so you can avoid common (and costly) mistakes. You’ll know exactly what to do to set your nonprofit up the right way.
100%. Most nonprofits are set up—but not structured for funding. This challenge shows you how to reposition and realign your nonprofit so that it looks fundable to donors, partners, and grantors. You’ll leave with a tighter strategy, stronger systems, and a funding plan that actually works.
If you’re a VIP, you’ll get access to all the replays so you can watch, rewatch, and implement at your own pace. General Admission is live only and does not include replay access, so if you know you’ll miss any of the sessions, upgrading to VIP is your best move.
That’s exactly why you need this challenge. You’ll learn how to position your nonprofit so that asking for support doesn’t feel like begging—it feels like offering a powerful opportunity to your donors and funders. We don’t do guilt-based fundraising here. We do strategy.
Most webinars give you 1 hour of vague ideas and a pitch at the end. This challenge gives you 3 days of hands-on, structured guidance, with step-by-step assignments and real support. You’re not watching—you’re building. Plus, you’ll have access to tools and templates most people charge thousands for.
There’s a live chat and support group throughout the challenge, and if you’re a VIP, you get direct access to Blake during exclusive coaching sessions each day. No question goes unanswered.
Let’s get your nonprofit off the ground. And let’s do it in 3 days—NOT3 years.
