The Faith Funded Business Build

Anyone Can File Your LLC. I Build The Business That Comes After It.

Ninety days from now, you'll have an entity a bank can verify, a file a lender can read, and a business that actually earns. Built with you, God's way, with no shortcuts.

For Christian entrepreneurs, underserved and minority-owned businesses, whether you're still praying over the idea or three years in.

From Praying Over An Idea To Running A Real Business◆From Denied At The Bank To A File A Lender Can Read◆From Undercharging To A Real Fee Schedule◆From Chasing Invoices To A Written Payment Policy◆From Figuring It Out Alone To Built Side By Side◆Structure. Funding. Freedom. God's Way.◆

Which One Sounds Like You?

The Build meets you where you are. Most people come to me from one of two places.

Still Starting

You're Ready To Build, But You Don't Want To Build It Wrong.

You've been praying over the idea, and you're not sure which step comes first.
You're afraid of filing something you'll have to undo later.
Everyone online is selling business credit, and you can't tell what's legitimate.
You want it done right the first time, without doing it alone.

The Build starts before anything is filed, so your name, your classification and your records are chosen on purpose.

Already Running

You're Working Hard, But The Business Isn't Working For You Yet.

Your LLC came from a filing site, and your state, IRS and bank records don't quite agree.
The bank said no, and nobody told you why.
You're busy, but you're undercharging and chasing invoices every month.
Your website is a link page, not something a lender or grant reviewer can verify.
You know you need systems, a product and a plan, and you haven't had the time to build them.

Already have an LLC? You won't form a new one. The Build audits what's on your record, corrects what's wrong, and builds the business around it.

Ninety Days. Three Phases. One Business Built Right.

You don't need another course. And you don't need someone who files a form and disappears. Here's what we build together.

Phase One — The Foundation

Filed Right.

Your LLC, your EIN, and a bank- and grant-ready website, done for you. You never touch a government form.

Phase Two — The Fundability File

Lender-Readable.

Every record a lender checks, built to agree with every other one, plus your first credit vendors and a month-by-month funding ladder.

Phase Three — The Business Itself

Actually Earning.

Your pricing rebuilt, a three-year revenue model, your systems and CRM, your first digital product, and your content engine.

Portrait of Kalisa Vaughn, founder of SMART Business Group

Nobody Handed Me a Blueprint. So I Built One.

God delivered me from childhood poverty. That's not a marketing line — that's testimony. I raised my son alone as a single mother while quietly building a career in tax and finance that now spans more than twenty years.

I founded SMART Business Group LLC — a woman-owned, minority-owned, single-mother-led company — so other underserved entrepreneurs would never have to sit in the dark trying to figure out funding, credit, and business structure alone the way I did.

Twenty years in tax and finance taught me exactly where businesses break. But paperwork was never the finish line. Today my work goes past the filing: pricing a client's services so the work actually pays, mapping where the money will come from over three years, setting up the systems that move a client from first contact to paid, and building the first product that lets a website earn.

What He did for my family, He can do for yours.

What This Won't Do

Naming the limits is part of building God's way.

I won't promise you funding, a credit approval or a grant. Lenders make their own decisions. The Build gives you the structure and qualifications they look for.
No CPNs, no tradeline schemes, and no shortcuts that put your name at risk.
Nothing that misrepresents your business. No invented history and no misleading classification.
No overnight results. Ninety days of real work, side by side.

What You'll Actually Hold At The End

Not videos. Not a checklist. Working documents built for your business, and yours to keep.

Your 90-Day Command Center

A live working file we both update. What's done, what you're holding, what I'm holding, week by week. Yours from day one.

Your Exact-Match Audit

Your legal name, address and phone checked across every record a lender reads. One mismatched field is enough to send an application to manual review.

Your Funding Ladder

Which lender, which month, and exactly what has to be true before you apply.

Your Three-Year Revenue Model

Where the money actually comes from, with each line priced and placed on a calendar.

The Faith Funded Business Build

Most programs hand you videos and wish you well. Six months later there's still no LLC, no business foundation and no funding. Most services file your paperwork and vanish before you've made a dollar. This is the opposite.

Done For You + Done With You90-Day Build · Three Phases

The Faith Funded Business Build

$1,499

one time — or 2 payments of $775 ($1,550 total)

Plus about $464 in Texas setup costs, paid directly to the state and your providers. See the full breakdown. Already have an LLC? Same investment. You're not paying me to file a form — you're paying me to audit what's already on your record, correct what's wrong, and build the business around it. That work is usually heavier, not lighter. You won't form a new LLC or pay a new filing fee. We build on the one you already have.

You bring the calling. I'll build the structure — and the business that runs on it.

Phase One — The Foundation

Filed, built, launched.

You never touch a government form.

Your LLC filed with your state — name cleared for fundability first, Operating Agreement prepared, registered agent handled.
Your federal EIN secured — filed against your returned certificate so your IRS record and state record match character for character. You receive the official CP 575 letter.
Your bank- and grant-ready website, built and launched — custom domain, matching business email, real content, working forms. No placeholders, no "coming soon."

Phase Two — The Fundability File

Every record a lender reads.

Built to agree with every other one.

Your business name and industry classification chosen on purpose — before anything is filed, because this is the most expensive decision to reverse.
Every account a lender looks for, opened together on Zoom — business address, business phone with directory listing, business bank account, D-U-N-S number, merchant processing.
Your first three credit vendors — named, sequenced, with dates. Which one, what to order, and the day of the month to pay so your file builds instead of stalls.
Your funding ladder, month by month — which lender, which month, and exactly what has to be true before you apply.
The exact-match audit — your legal name, address and phone identical on every record you own. One mismatched field is enough to route your application to manual review.

Phase Three — The Business Itself

The part most people never get to.

A business that actually earns.

Your pricing, rebuilt — a real fee schedule, a written minimum, and a payment policy that ends unpaid invoices.
Your revenue model — where the money actually comes from over the next three years, each line priced and placed on a calendar. It is usually not the line you're working on now.
Your systems and CRM, set up — so clients move from enquiry to paid without you chasing anything.
Your first digital product, built and connected to your merchant account — so your website earns, and processed revenue starts building the history merchant lenders underwrite.
Your content engine — who you're speaking to, what they're actually worried about, and what they'll trade an email address for.
