Only 36% of women who apply for business loans get approved.
I've been approved for five.
Five SBA loans — for a food franchise, a multi-location boutique, a childcare center, and a 10-bay auto repair shop.
Different industries. Different loan amounts. Same result.
Not because I got lucky. Because I learned what banks actually want to see — and I showed up prepared every single time.
Here's what I figured out after sitting across from more bankers than I can count:
They're not betting on your business. They're betting on you.
And there's a specific way to position yourself as the person they say yes to.
I put everything I know into one guide: "How I Got 5 SBA Loans."
Inside:
The exact documents I prepared before every application (and the one most people forget)
How I positioned myself as a low-risk borrower — even when buying businesses I'd never operated before
What banks are really evaluating (it's not what you think)
The questions I asked before choosing which bank to approach
Mistakes I made on my first loan that almost cost me the second
How to talk about your business so the banker sees what you see
This isn't theory. It's the playbook I used — five times.

Optional Upgrade: Live Q&A With Me
I'm hosting a live session at the end of January where you can ask me anything — about funding, buying a business, launching, scaling, hiring, all of it.
My private coaching is booked through January, so this is the only way to get direct access to me right now.

This guide is available until tomorrow at midnight.
I don't do discounts or extended deadlines. When it's gone, it's gone.
Talk soon,
Carina
P.S. — Women-owned businesses face a $1.7 trillion funding gap globally. We get denied more often, offered less money, and asked harder questions. I'm not here to complain about it. I'm here to help you beat it.
