Partnerships

Give the small businesses you serve the tools to thrive.

Bags helps financial institutions, lenders and non profits deliver financial tools, capital readiness, and portfolio insight across the businesses they serve.

Why it works

Built for the owner first. That's why it works.

Most technical assistance tools ask business owners to do work that mainly benefits someone else, so it doesn't happen. Bags flips that: the clean books, the AI CFO, and the funding support are things an owner actually needs. They engage because it helps them scale, and everything downstream depends on it. Nobody has to chase anyone for a spreadsheet.

Three layers of support. Built to give small businesses the financial department they deserve.

01Financial Hygiene

Clean books.

Bags audits books and flags what to fix, in plain language.

They get their books in shape.

You get consistent data across every business you serve.

02Financial Efficiency

TA at the scale you actually serve.

An AI CFO turns each business's numbers into answers, on demand.

Your TA budget stops capping how many businesses you can help, and you can see who's struggling while there's still time.

Standardized books built from live data, in the same shape for every business you serve.

Portfolio performance.

Revenue, cash flow, and financial health, tracked over time and across your whole network.

A shared data model.

Portfolio Overview
Portfolio Overview showing total balance, active loans, interest rate, and pass rate across a lender's white-labeled borrower portfolio

For lenders.

Underwrite from consistent, current financials instead of a PDF someone exported last quarter. Less manual reconciliation, standardized inputs, and a clear view of how a business is doing after the money goes out.

For funds and investors.

Evaluate portfolios with comparable, transparent data. Compare performance across originators, understand each portfolio at the business level, and see how it's tracking without waiting on a quarterly report.
