The Counselor's Complete Workflow Engine

Counselor-guided readiness that gets small businesses from assessment to loan-ready — through structured development plans, a marketplace of professional services, and verified data.

Borrowers walk in unprepared. Counselors lack the tools to help.

Most borrowers who approach community lenders are not loan-ready. They lack documentation, have credit gaps, or simply do not know where they stand. Counselors at SBDCs, SCORE chapters, and CDFIs do the hard work of guiding these businesses — but they do it with disconnected tools, manual spreadsheets, and no structured path from intake to loan-ready.

The Compass changes that. It gives counselors a complete workflow engine that assesses readiness, builds action plans, connects borrowers with professionals, and tracks every milestone. When a borrower is ready, their verified data flows directly into loan packaging.

How The Compass Works

A structured journey from intake to loan-ready, guided by counselors and powered by verified data.

Intake

Borrower onboarding with business profile, financial snapshot, and initial documentation collection.

Assessment

Fiinsyt Score generated from the 5 C's of Credit — verified through Plaid, Codat, and iSoftpull integrations.

Action Plan

SMART goals built around specific gaps. Counselors assign goals; borrowers track progress through milestones.

Development

Marketplace professionals, tools, and education help borrowers improve. Score rises as verified progress accumulates.

Ready

Borrower meets readiness thresholds. Verified data flows into loan packaging for immediate packet assembly.

What The Compass Includes

Fiinsyt Score

Proprietary readiness score built on the 5 C's of Credit — Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, and Conditions. Verified data from integrations (Plaid, Codat, iSoftpull) ensures accuracy.

SMART Goals

Counselor-guided action plans with specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound goals. Borrowers see their path to loan-readiness, one milestone at a time.

Professional Services Marketplace

CPAs, attorneys, business coaches, fractional CFOs — all accessible through counselor referrals. Manage engagements, track outcomes, build reputation.

Borrower Community

Peer-to-peer interaction, resource sharing, and community engagement. Borrowers learn from each other and build networks.

Events & Training

Workshop registration, event tracking, and TABLE 5 compliance reporting. Every event automatically feeds into government reporting data.

Document Vault

Secure document storage for business plans, tax returns, bank statements, and licenses. Organized, versioned, and ready for loan packaging.

TABLE 5 Automation

Automated compliance reporting for SBDCs and TA providers. No more manual spreadsheet consolidation — TABLE 5 data generates from live platform activity.

Counselor Analytics

Track client engagement, goal completion rates, referral outcomes, and portfolio performance. Data-driven counseling at scale.

Powered by Real-Time Data

The Compass connects to the financial and credit data sources your counselors need — no manual data entry.
