Rich Somers sits down with Evan Rugan to break down how he unlocked $1.5M in 0% business funding—without tax returns—and why most entrepreneurs misunderstand how access to capital actually works. Evan explains how proper entity setup, credit positioning, and timing open funding opportunities most people never see.
The conversation covers how banks evaluate risk, why personal credit often matters more than income early on, and how disciplined operators use leverage as a tool—not a lifeline. This episode offers a clear, grounded look at funding strategy for founders who want flexibility, control, and long-term optionality.
