A readiness checklist should organize what the business knows, flag what only the institution can confirm and assign an owner to every missing item. It should not guess the provider’s document requirements or treat preparation as a promise of approval.

FAQ
Does completing the checklist guarantee approval?
No. Approval remains the independent decision of the relevant financial institution.

Use supportable ranges and explain the basis rather than inventing precision.
Who should own the application?
