CapitalReady is JumpStart’s practical, results-driven small business accelerator that helps owners prepare for “what’s next” – whether that’s investment, expansion or acquisition.

Working directly with subject-matter experts and fractional advisors across finance, operations and strategy, business owners learn how to increase their valuation, access new pathways to capital and enhance overall profitability.

Through a mix of in-person and virtual education sessions, 1-on-1 advising and peer learning, each entrepreneur builds a customized Growth Strategy Playbook during this immersive program.

Business owners will walk away with:

  • A clear, data-driven growth strategy and financial roadmap

  • Improved financial reporting and readiness for bank or investor conversations

  • New relationships with lenders, funders, and ecosystem partners

  • Tangible business progress – revenue growth, capital secured, or expanded operations within months of completing the program

  • Up to $20,000 in additional specialized support through our Preferred Partner Program to implement their business plan

CapitalReady is ideal for Ohio small business owners generating over $500,000 in annual recurring revenue and dedicated to learning, growing, and scaling their businesses via investment, capital, or sale of the business.

Spots are limited; applicants will be contacted via email.
