McGuire Consulting Agency, LLC

Lenders don't reject businesses. They reject what they can't read.

We make your business legible, bankable, and ready for capital, translating your numbers into the story underwriters approve, and moving you off expensive daily-payment debt onto structured credit.

The Real Problem

Your business is fine. The way it reads isn't.

Most owners get turned down, or stuck paying brutal rates, not because the business is weak, but because the file is unreadable to a credit committee. We fix the file.

01 / Opacity

Numbers a lender can't follow

Inconsistent books, no clean financials, and no narrative connecting cash flow to repayment. A committee can't approve what it can't verify.

02 / The Debt Trap

Daily-payment debt eating margin

Stacked merchant cash advances and factor-rate financing quietly cost 40% to 150% or more effective. It strangles cash flow and scares off real lenders.

03 / No Positioning

Walking in cold and unprepared

Approaching banks without a borrowing base, a DSCR story, or a credit memo means you're negotiating from weakness, and leaving terms on the table.

Interactive, Cost Reveal

What is your money actually costing you?

Merchant cash advances hide their true price behind a "factor rate." Move the sliders to see the real annualized cost of your current advance, and what structured credit could look like instead.

The Engagement

The Capital Clarity and Readiness Engagement

A focused advisory engagement that takes your business from "unreadable" to "approvable." We build the file a credit committee says yes to, then position you to access it.

Step 1

Diagnose

We pressure-test your financials, debt structure, and cash flow exactly as an underwriter would, surfacing every red flag before a lender does.

Step 2

Structure

We compute your DSCR, size a realistic borrowing base across A/R, inventory, and assets, and map your true cost of capital.

Step 3

Package

We assemble a clean, institutional credit memorandum that tells your repayment story the way committees need to read it.

Step 4

Position

We prepare you to approach the right capital sources from strength, so you negotiate terms instead of accepting them.

Our Approach

Credit underwriting, from the inside out.

McGuire Consulting Agency was founded on a simple observation: the gap between a good business and an approved loan is almost never the business. It is the file. Owners are evaluated on documents and ratios they never get to see.

We bring underwriting discipline to your side of the table. Every engagement is grounded in real credit standards, DSCR, borrowing-base sizing, and a structured scorecard, so you understand exactly how capital providers see you, and you fix it before they ever look.

Straight Answers

Questions owners ask first

No. McGuire Consulting Agency is an advisory firm. We prepare and position you for capital. We do not make loans or guarantee that any lender will approve you. That independence is the point: our job is to get your file as strong as it can honestly be.

No, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. Credit decisions belong to lenders. What we control is how clearly and credibly your business is presented, which is often the difference between a yes and a no, and between a punishing rate and a fair one.

This is exactly the situation the engagement is built for. We map the true cost of your current debt, model what a consolidated structured facility could look like, and build the file that makes you a candidate for it. The Cost Reveal tool above gives you a first look at the math.

Most diagnostic and packaging work is completed within a few weeks, depending on how quickly we receive your financials. We'll scope timing precisely on the initial consultation.

Typically recent financial statements or tax returns, a current debt schedule, and A/R aging if you carry receivables. We'll send a simple checklist after the consultation, and part of the value is helping you organize this in the first place.
