California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce Takes the Lead in Promoting Funding Roadmap Cloud Technology to Advance Members' Ability to Access Capital

Sacramento, CA, February 23, 2011 --(PR.com)-- California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Unismart Capital Software Inc, are pleased to announce a new and exciting partnership to deploy Unismart’s Funding Roadmap, the first cloud-based multiple choice business plan and due diligence reporting system for startups to mid-sized business owners seeking bank financing and access to investment capital to grow and expand their businesses and create jobs.

“Small business owners are challenged to find effective and affordable ways to access capital and need real change in their tools and processes if they want to see measurable success,” said Julian Canete CEO of the CAHCC, adding “We are pleased to partner with Unismart Capital Software to deliver their valuable Funding Roadmap technology to our members who are eager to learn and transform their business information onto a secure SBA and GAAP compliant cloud reporting system. We’re confident it will increase their chances of getting funded faster during these difficult economic times."

“The Funding Roadmap provides detailed step-by-step questions to which banks expect answers, and guides each prospective borrower through a comprehensive pre-qualification and reporting process to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their particular loan request well ahead of time,” says Unismat/Funding Roadmap CEO Ruth Hedges. Multiple-choice selections are designed to educate applicants to take the steps necessary to correct any deficiencies before presentation. The platform aids startups to mid-sized business owners through the process of preparing a Funding Request Document to present to banks and lenders across the state or across the country to "get bank approval", not merely ask for a loan, and provides a polished online presentation that stands out for review by VCs and angels, as well as friends and family investors. Hedges states that “this partnership is an important step to demonstrate the platform’s benefits for chambers, associations and university programs as well,” adding that “the Funding Roadmap is also being offered through the ASBDC and the Cisco Entrepreneur Institute.”
