FUNDED — The Business Owner’s Guide to Working Capital, Commercial Real Estate, Construction, Development, Acquisitions, and the Capital Markets.
By Don McClain · Founder, Medro Advisors
CAPITAL. OPPORTUNITY. GROWTH. WHAT’S NEXT.
FUNDED
The most expensive capital is often the money that solves today's problem and creates tomorrow's.
A CONNECTED PERSPECTIVE
See the opportunity.
Understand the structure.
Prepare for what’s next.
Capital starts with a bigger question: what do you want to accomplish?
FUNDED is Don McClain’s forthcoming practical guide to capital preparation, financing strategy, real estate and business funding, transaction structure, and disciplined execution.
It brings these connected decisions into one owner-minded perspective, from the first questions about funding to the thinking behind a workable transaction.
Financing strategy
Connect working capital, property, construction, development, and acquisitions to a broader capital plan.
What comes next
Keep transaction structure and disciplined execution connected to the owner’s goals.
WHO THE BOOK IS FOR
A capital conversation
for owners, buyers
and investors.
Start with the decision you are preparing to make.
FUNDED is written for people connecting a business or property opportunity to a capital plan. Its forthcoming publication brings working capital, commercial real estate, construction, development, acquisitions and the capital markets into one practical perspective.
You do not need a transaction ready to close to begin asking better questions. The starting point is understanding the objective, the facts that support it and the obligations a funding decision could create.
Connect funding to operations
Consider why capital is needed, how it will be used and how the business plans to support the resulting obligation. Working capital and long-term investment can solve different needs.
See the whole property plan
Connect acquisition, improvement, construction or development goals with the property’s operating assumptions and the next stage of ownership.
Prepare for an ownership transition
Bring the acquisition objective, available information, funding questions and transition needs into the same conversation before committing to a structure.
Questions worth
bringing to the table.
- What specific outcome should the capital support?
- Which facts and documents make the opportunity understandable?
- How does the proposed structure fit the business or property plan?
- What assumptions, obligations and next steps need further review?
These are discussion prompts, not a financing recommendation or a lender’s underwriting criteria. The book offers educational perspectives; a particular transaction requires its own professional review.

BEYOND THE BOOK
From reading to an
advisory conversation.
FUNDED by Don McClain shares a perspective on capital, growth, and ownership. When you are ready to discuss your own business or transaction, Medro Advisors and The Medro Funded Platform℠ offer a separate, retained advisory engagement.
That process includes a retainer, a written engagement agreement, and placement with an advisor within the platform. The scope of work and applicable fee arrangements are discussed privately and documented before the advisory work begins.
Book updates and reader interest remain separate from advisory services. Signing up for FUNDED news does not create an advisory engagement or require a retainer.
