TOOLS TO SUPPORT YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY

For Business Owners

Craft3 is committed to helping you succeed.

Starting and growing a business is challenging and the business journey is often full of twists and turns, with multiple milestones and potential setbacks. We strive to support you throughout your business journey.

We have been working with small business owners for more than two decades. We understand that while financing is important, there are many other steps to successfully launching and growing a business. While the process and the order of the steps can vary depending on your business and your situation, applying for a loan is rarely one of the first steps, and never the last step.

For many business owners we've worked with, the language of finance was hard to understand, and they did not yet know how to create financial projections. In order to empower business owners and to remove barriers to accessing financing, we have created a variety of downloadable resources.
