No login required. Works in Excel and Word. CRE and Business tracks included.

You understand commercial financing. Now organize your deal.

You've read the field guide, you know the vocabulary — but when it's time to actually approach a lender or advisor, your numbers are scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and half-finished notes. You don't know exactly what you'll be asked, what's missing, or whether your own math holds up. Showing up unprepared costs you time, credibility, and sometimes the deal itself.

What you get

A working calculation engine, not a static form. Every number is a real, protected spreadsheet formula built only from what you enter — no AI writes your numbers, and there is no hidden scoring.

CRE TRACK

CRE Preparation Workbook

Deal definition, sources & uses, income and expense modeling, NOI, debt scenarios, DSCR, LTV, LTC, sponsor and guarantor detail, and property-specific questions across 10 commercial property types.

BUSINESS TRACK

Business Preparation Workbook

Funding definition, project cost, sources & uses, historical performance, buyer-proposed adjustments, debt scenarios, coverage, ownership, and working capital.

BOTH TRACKS

Summary Builder & Packet Check

Assembles everything you've entered into one print-ready Financing Preparation Packet, with a clear checklist of exactly what's complete and what remains.

BOTH TRACKS

14-Day Action Plan

A prioritized task list — Do Now, Next 7 Days, Days 8–14 — that updates itself automatically based on what's genuinely still missing. No generic checklists.

BOTH TRACKS

Documents & Issues Tracker

Know exactly what's Available, what you Need to Obtain, and what Needs an Update — plus a structured way to write a clear, fact-based explanation for anything in your history that needs context.

START HERE

Start Here Guide

Walks you through which workbook to use, the recommended completion order, and how to read every calculated field — so you can use this without Hawkmen's help.

CRE Track vs. Business Track

CRE TrackBusiness Track
Best forAcquisition, refinance, cash-out, bridge, renovation, constructionBusiness acquisition, partner buyout, equipment, working capital, expansion
Property/business detail10 property-type-specific question setsHistorical performance, proposed adjustments, working capital
Core metricsNOI, DSCR, LTV, LTCAdjusted cash flow, coverage

Both tracks share the same structure — sources & uses, debt scenarios, sponsor/ownership, documents, issues, action plan — so the toolkit feels consistent no matter which side of the ladder you're on.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Excel or Word?

Yes — the workbooks are Excel files with protected formulas, and your Financing Preparation Packet comes from the workbook itself. No special software or login required beyond that.

Which track should I buy — do I need both?

One purchase includes both the CRE and Business workbooks. Use the one that matches your deal; the Start Here Guide tells you exactly which.

Is my information sent to Hawkmen?

No. Everything stays in your own files on your own device unless you choose to submit your summary for a financing review or purchase the Capital Readiness Assessment.

Does this guarantee financing?

No. It is a self-directed preparation tool. It does not constitute underwriting, approval, or a financing offer.

What happens after I finish my workbook?

Your Summary Builder and Packet Check tabs show you what's left. From there, you can request the $197 Capital Readiness Assessment (with your $67 credited if within 14 days) or ask Hawkmen to review your deal for financing placement.
