# Welcome to Funding Machine

Funding Machine is your all-in-one platform for managing client funding. Submit clients, track credit reports, monitor funding progress, and manage your business from one dashboard.

## How Funding Machine Works

Here's the journey every client takes from submission to funding:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Submit Your Client">
    Enter your client's details and authorize a credit pull. The client enters the processing queue immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Credit Pull & Analysis">
    Our team pulls a tri-bureau credit report and analyzes the full profile — scores, trade lines, utilization, and derogatories.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Funding Plan Created">
    Based on the credit analysis, a custom funding plan is built: card stacking, term loans, SBA, or a combination tailored to maximize approval.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Applications Submitted">
    The processing team submits applications to lenders on your client's behalf. You can track progress in real time from your dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Client Funded">
    Once approved and funded, you'll see the total funded amount on your Clients page — and receive an invoice based on your agreement rate.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  The entire process typically takes about 3 business days. Submit clients with complete information to keep things moving fast.
