Before you decide, ask.

Should I hire? Can I afford to expand? Will I make payroll in March?

These questions are hard—not because you lack instincts, but because even good instincts benefit from someone to think it through with.

Can I afford to hire a second technician?

StratBear

Based on your current cash position and the burn rate from the last 90 days, you could sustain this hire for about 8 months at a $55K salary.

That drops to 5 months if the Martinez invoice stays outstanding past 60 days. Want me to model a part-time start instead?

Real guidance requires knowing your real numbers.

The Problem

Generic advice is free. And worth what you pay for it.

You can ask ChatGPT if you should hire. It'll give you a framework and wish you luck.

But it doesn't know your margins. It doesn't know you're waiting on a $40K receivable. It doesn't know your competitor just raised prices.

Real guidance requires knowing your real situation. That's the difference between theory and advice you can actually use.

The Solution

An advisor who knows your numbers.

StratBear connects to your financial data, learns your business, and gives you guidance grounded in your actual situation—not hypotheticals.

The kind of thinking you'd get from a CFO or a consultant who's been with you for months. Except it's available when you need it, at a price that makes sense.

Real questions. Real answers.

Grounded in your actual numbers—not generic advice.

"Should I hire?"

"Based on your current burn and that receivable coming in, you could sustain this role for 8 months. Here's what changes that number."

"Can I raise prices?"

"Your competitors average 15% higher. At your current volume, a 10% increase adds $2,400/month to margin."

"Will I make payroll?"

"Yes, through April. May gets tight if the Johnson contract doesn't close. Here are your options."

The honest exchange.

We can't help you until we know you.

That means connecting your financial accounts. Telling us about your goals, your competitors, what keeps you up at night. It takes about 10 minutes.

In return, you get an advisor who actually understands your situation. One who can answer the hard questions with more than "it depends."

You shouldn't have to figure this out alone.

Running a business can be lonely. The decisions are real. The pressure is real. And most of the time, there's no one to call who understands both your situation and your numbers.

That's what we built this for.
