Done-for-you credit repair that gets your personal credit fund-ready, fast, so you can qualify for high-limit credit cards that fund your business. No hacks. No upfront fees.

No payment until work is doneWritten contract3-day right to cancelNo sweeps, CPNs or “loopholes”

The night doesn’t last.

Neither do most negative items.

Most fall off after seven years. Errors can be corrected much sooner when they’re disputed the right way.

Three steps into a brand-new day.

Good morning

We turn a second chance into strong credit, and strong credit into capital.

Your personal credit is the key to business funding. We clean it up and build it up, one documented dispute at a time.

…and strong credit into capital.

We help you put it to work: high-limit card strategy, with every letter and bureau response in plain sight.

The lens · what moves a FICO® Score

Five prisms. One beam.

A lighthouse lens is built from rings of glass that focus light into one strong beam. Your score works the same way: five factors, each with its own weight, focus into one number lenders see.

Burn off the fog

Shortcuts hide in the fog. Most are rocks.

Move your cursor or tap to let the morning sun clear the fog. These are the credit “hacks” going viral right now, what they actually do, and the legitimate route instead.

The route

Four waypoints from credit to capital.

Every client follows the same charted course. You always know where you are, what we did this month and what comes next.

WAYPOINT 01Week 1

Chart

A free review of your Equifax, Experian and TransUnion reports. We mark every item that looks inaccurate, unverifiable or outdated, and set your course.

  • All three bureaus, side by side
  • Your goals: a home, a car, a business
  • A plain-English plan before you sign anything
WAYPOINT 02Month 1 onward

Clear

We send documented disputes to the bureaus and to the companies that report to them. Bureaus generally have 30 days to investigate each one.

  • Specific, evidence-backed disputes, never form letters
  • Follow-ups and escalations when answers fall short
  • Every letter and every response in your client console
WAYPOINT 03Alongside Clear

Build

Removing errors is half the work. We coach the habits scoring models reward, so your profile keeps getting stronger.

  • Utilization targets, card by card
  • On-time payment systems and autopay setup
  • When a secured card or credit-builder loan makes sense
WAYPOINT 04Fleet plan

Fund

Once your personal profile is strong, we help you put it to work. Many business credit cards are approved mainly on the owner’s personal credit, so a strong score can mean higher limits and intro 0% APR offers you can use to fund your business.

  • Card selection matched to your credit profile
  • Application order and timing to keep hard inquiries in check
  • A plan for 0% intro periods before standard rates apply

The fast track

The keeper's console

Watch every letter cross the water.

Done-for-you shouldn’t mean done-in-the-dark. Every client gets a private console showing each dispute, each bureau response and each funding milestone as it happens.

Overview

Sample client · not real data

Illustration of the client console with invented sample data. Results vary by client.

The instrument panel

Four free tools. Zero guesswork.

Check your utilization, see when old items should age off, find what bad credit costs you, and spot errors worth disputing. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Utilization check

How much of your available credit are you using? It’s part of “amounts owed,” the second-biggest factor in a FICO Score. Example numbers are filled in; change them to yours.

Educational estimate only. No tool can predict your score.

From credit to capital

Your personal credit funds the business.

No P&Ls, tax returns or months of bank paperwork. For most small business owners, the fastest path to capital is a strong personal FICO® Score that qualifies for high-limit credit cards.

01

Strong personal credit

Accurate reports, low utilization, on-time history and few recent inquiries.

02

High-limit business cards

Many issuers approve business cards mainly on the owner’s personal credit, usually with a personal guarantee.

03

Capital for your business

Use the credit lines for inventory, marketing or equipment, often starting with an intro 0% APR period.

Questions

Straight answers.

Still unsure? Book the free review and ask us anything.

How fast will my score go up?

It depends on what’s on your reports. Bureaus generally have 30 days to investigate a dispute, so most people see first responses within one to two months. We never promise a score or a timeline, and anyone who does is a red flag.

Can you remove accurate negative items?

No one can legally remove accurate, timely information. Most negative items can stay up to seven years, and some bankruptcies up to ten. We dispute items that are inaccurate, incomplete, unverifiable or outdated, and we help you build positive history around the rest.

When do I pay?

After the work. There’s no setup fee, and each month is billed only after that month’s work is performed. You’ll sign a written contract first, and you can cancel within 3 business days at no cost.

Can I do this myself?

Yes. You have the right to dispute errors with the credit bureaus yourself, for free. Get your reports at AnnualCreditReport.com. We exist for people who’d rather have experts handle the paperwork and follow-ups.

How does my personal credit fund my business?

Many business credit cards are approved mainly on the owner’s personal credit, and most come with a personal guarantee. A strong personal profile can qualify for higher limits and intro 0% APR offers, which many owners use for inventory, marketing or equipment instead of a traditional bank loan. Intro rates end and standard rates apply, so you need a payoff plan. Approvals and limits are set by each issuer and aren’t guaranteed.

Will applying for business credit cards hurt my personal credit?

It can. Many business credit cards and loans check your personal credit with a hard inquiry and require a personal guarantee. We help you time applications so inquiries don’t stack up before a big purchase.

Do you lend money or guarantee funding?

No. We’re not a lender. We prepare you and your business to apply with confidence. Approval, amounts and terms are set by each lender, and no one can guarantee them.

What if I’m a real identity-theft victim?

Report it at IdentityTheft.gov first. It’s free and gives you a recovery plan. We can then help dispute the fraudulent accounts properly.
