How CredFixAI™ works
Four steps, one score, and a roadmap that always tells you the next thing to do.
The four steps in detail
Financial readiness is not a mystery. It is a sequence — and CredFixAI™ walks you through it.
- Step 1 · Assess
Complete your readiness assessment
Answer a short set of questions about your credit, business and documentation. No SSN, no bank logins.
- Step 2 · Understand
See exactly where you stand
Get a clear 0–100 Financial Readiness Score with a plain-English breakdown of every strength and gap.
- Step 3 · Improve
Follow an AI-powered roadmap
Your next steps are ordered for you, so you always know the one thing to do next — not twenty.
- Step 4 · Prepare
Build confidence for what's next
Track progress month over month and walk into your next financial conversation prepared.
Seven categories decide whether you get funded
CredFixAI™ scores each one, weights it, and tells you in plain English what's holding you back.
Personal Credit
The first thing a small-business lender pulls. Score, accuracy, and dispute progress all count.
Business Credit
A credit file in the business's name: D-U-N-S, reporting vendor accounts, and business cards.
Business Foundation
Registered entity, EIN, business bank account, address, phone, and website — all verified by lenders.
Documentation
Tax returns, bank statements, financials, and a written use of funds, assembled before you apply.
Cash Flow
Revenue consistency and months of business banking history — what revenue-based lenders underwrite.
Debt Management
Revolving utilization and whether every payment is current. The fastest levers you control.
Funding Preparation
A specific target amount, a documented use of funds, and a date to work backwards from.
One number that answers: “Am I ready?”
Your Financial Readiness Score combines personal credit, business credit, foundation, documentation, cash flow, debt and funding preparation into a single 0–100 view — then breaks down every point so you know exactly what to fix and in what order.
- Updates automatically as you complete work in the platform
- Explains each category in plain English — no jargon, no scare tactics
- Turns gaps into a prioritized list of next actions
The Financial Readiness Score is CredFixAI™'s own estimate — not a FICO score, lender decision, or approval guarantee.
A guided path, not a one-time fix
Credit improvement is a process. Here's how you move through it — learning at every stage.
- Stage 1
Review credit report
Bring in your report and see what's actually on file, line by line.
- Stage 2
Receive AI guidance
Your AI Credit Advisor explains each item in plain language and flags what's worth questioning.
- Stage 3
Generate personalized letters
Turn the items you choose into clear, FCRA-compliant letters that you review, sign, and send.
- Stage 4
Track progress
Log what you sent, what came back, and how your score moves month over month.
- Stage 5
Get updated recommendations
As bureau responses arrive, your next steps are reprioritized around what's still open.
- Stage 6
Build better credit habits
Keep utilization, payment history, and account age working in your favor long-term.
Progress varies by individual. CredFixAI™ supports your process — it does not promise a specific outcome.
What a prepared year looks like
A realistic sequence, not a promise. Timelines depend on your starting point — bureaus have 30 days to investigate, and business credit files take time to build.
