| business promissory note buyers: Business Capital 101 Roberta A. Pellant, Tony Drexel-Smith, 2021-04-26 The purpose of this book is to define the process and protocols of the TASASS™ score. It also serves as the textbook for the USCGA™ TASASS™ certification course. It was written as a manual for students, entrepreneurs, finance professionals, advisors, and consultants. It defines the types of capital available and documentation requirements to achieve “success” in the capital marketplace. Success is defined as a trifecta of: 1) the enterprise acquiring capital; 2) the business becoming successful and 3) the capital source(s) receiving a positive outcome. Business Capital 101 provides clarity in an otherwise complicated environment of gaining access to capital for qualified enterprises. Our mission is to provide a compliant, professional, time-sensitive, cost-conscious, and realistic approach to the business finance process. We accomplish this mission by the implementation of a due diligence process known as the TASASS™ score. The TASASS™ score was developed as a result of a study of more than 300 enterprises engaged by me since 2008 wherein, I was able to determine the more than 300 common attributes amongst successful and failed ventures. The TASASS™ score is a combination of a Transaction Analysis™ (TA), a Situation Analysis™ (SA) implemented in a Software (S) that results in a Score (S). The TASASS™ score is a standardized objective due diligence process that serves capital markets during the enterprise vetting phase of capitalization. The software was created based on a 10-year study of 300 applicants. The goal of the proprietary Software as a Service (SaaS) is to identify opportunities that achieve a TASASS™ score in excess of 92.5%, known as “TASASS Prime™.” TASASS™ is an acronym for: Transaction Analysis Situation Analysis Scoring Software™. The TASASS™ score was developed by Tony Drexel Smith through the financial and human capital resources of: TASASS, Inc, The Association of Blue Moon Advisors, Blue Moon Advisors, Inc., Blue Moon Consortium, Inc., US Capital Global, SUMATICI, Inc., and TD Smith & Associates. Enterprises that have raised capital successfully have the following commonalities: they sought the right type of capital for their stage of development and ability to repay; they created documentation that speaks to the correct capital; and they earned a minimum of 925 out of the 1,000 points possible in our TASASS™ score.
