How We Do It

We know what is important to investors. This allows TVA to quickly assess the true potential of your company. While less than 5% of TVA applicants are ready for business funding upon an initial review, TVA believes as many as 75% of these companies could be viable, fundable companies. Clients following our advice significantly enhance their result with investors.

The TVA Process

To begin the Scoring process, enter either from the website or from a referral to our office in Irvine, California. Most begin by submitting our free Qualifier.

With the Qualifier, clients receive a radar graph and limited feedback in report form. Clients who wish to can add the Vulnerability Feedback, which explains the Qualifier results. Vulnerability Feedback clients will receive, along with the Qualifier, a more in-depth, live feedback process with one of our expert analysts.





The most extensive part of the process is the Fundability Assessment. Entrepreneurs completing this 1,000+ question questionnaire receive a feedback report, fundability curve, a numerical Fundability Score, a detailed SWOT a-nalysis plus one hour of our expert facilitation team's time.




For those clients whose score exceeds 800, introductions to funding sources may be available. Those whose score exceeds 1,000 will have a broader range of funding opportunities and will move directly to TVA's network of funding sources by working with our affiliate partner, TVA Capital. For those clients whose score is lower, referrals will be made to one or more of TVA's pre-screened consultants so that the entrepreneur can work on those areas where weakness have been identified. Once the weaknesses have been addressed and corrected, they can resubmit their Fundability Assessment one more time for a free rescoring (provided it is done within one year). Most entrepreneurs have only one chance to obtain the funding they seek. TVA's finely honed process lets the business owner know exactly what the investor response is likely to be and how to improve their chances significantly.
