Portrait of Kalisa Vaughn, founder of SMART Business Group

Nobody Handed Me a Blueprint. So I Built One.

God delivered me from childhood poverty. That's not a marketing line — that's testimony. I raised my son alone as a single mother while quietly building a career in tax and finance that now spans more than twenty years.

I founded SMART Business Group LLC — a woman-owned, minority-owned, single-mother-led company — so other underserved entrepreneurs would never have to sit in the dark trying to figure out funding, credit, and business structure alone the way I did.

What He did for my family, He can do for yours.

Built Right: The 90-Day Foundation◆The Structured & Funded Build◆

You Don't Need Another Course. You Need It Done.

Most programs hand you videos and wish you well. Six months later, still no LLC filed, no business foundation, and no business funding. This is the opposite of that — I build it for and with you, until it's finished. Helping to position your business to get funding and grants.

Done For You + Done With YouIncludes Your First Digital Product

Faith Funded Business Foundation

$999

one time — or 2 payments of $525

Plus your state filing fee, paid directly to your Secretary of State and any other 3rd party fees. Already have your LLC? Your investment is only $799 — we confirm proper business structure, recommend amendments, and handle everything else for you.

You bring the calling. I'll build the structure — and 90 days from now you'll have a business a bank can actually say YES to.
Done For You

I complete and file these.

You never touch a government form.

  • Your LLC, filed with your state — name cleared for fundability first, Operating Agreement done for you, registered agent handled.
  • Your federal EIN secured — filed against your returned certificate so your IRS record and state record match character for character. You receive the official CP 575 letter.
  • Your bank and grant ready website, built and launched — custom domain, matching business email, real content. No placeholders, no "coming soon."
Done With You

We sit down together on Zoom.

Side by side, until each account is open and your funding ladder is set.

  • Every account a lender looks for — business address, business phone with directory listing, business bank account, D-U-N-S number, and merchant processing. I share my screen and we get each one completed.
  • Your business name and industry classification chosen for fundability — before anything is filed, because this is the most expensive decision to reverse.
  • Your first 3 credit vendors — named, sequenced, with the dates. Which one, what to order, and the day of the month to pay so your file builds instead of stalls.
  • Your funding ladder, month by month — which lender, which month, and exactly what has to be true before you apply.
  • Weekly 15-minute Zoom calls for a full 90 days, plus email anytime. Roughly fifteen minutes a week for thirteen weeks. That's the whole commitment.
Included Free

Built into your foundation.

Extra tools and community access that keep paying long after the 90 days.

  • Your first digital product, built and connected to your merchant account — so your website earns instead of just sitting there, and processed revenue starts building the history merchant lenders underwrite.
  • The Vault — 1,280+ CDFI Treasury-Certified Lender Directory, Minority-Owned Banking Directory, Grant Readiness Database, ChexSystems Restoration Kit, plus Business Credit Blueprint.
  • Faith Funded & Free Skool Community Membership — prayer, Bible study, and believers building the same way you are.
Build My Business Right — $999

Prefer two payments? $525 today, $525 in 14 days.
