TVA’s free Qualifier is a specialized test designed to function as a reverse business plan. The 65-question test covers all aspects of your business from your financial structure to your marketing plan. The questionnaire is a simple tab to fill-in form which can be saved and worked on by more than one person. We recommend that you have your staff work on the areas of their expertise - the CFO on the financial section, etc.

Once the Qualifier is complete and submitted, TVA will produce a report which includes a radar graph (see the Feedback page for a sample) so that you can visualize where your business falls in respect to potential funding.

TVA highly recommends that the Qualifier be the first step to funding. Our experience has been that it helps



business owners identify whether or not the funding process is currently appropriate for them. In addition, it lets them know where their business weaknesses and strengths are, so they can concentrate on the necessary steps to improve their business model.

Once the Qualifier is complete and the report has been received, the entrepreneur has two options:






TVA takes input provided by the entrepreneur and determines which one of twenty-four proprietary models is THE most appropriate one to measure the entrepreneur against. Each proprietary model examines and weighs twelve (12) key areas to reach an assessment concerning how the entrepreneur measures up to the perceived “ideal” represented by the template model. A typical result is shown below. The more red you see, the more red flags there are to deter potential investors.
