FAQs
Answers to Your Top Questions About Our Expert Consulting Services
What types of businesses does Bluestone Capital Group work with?
Bluestone Capital Group supports startups, existing businesses in need of restructuring, and real estate investors—especially those looking to become fundable and sustainable. We work across industries, but specialize in service-based businesses, community enterprises, and investor-backed ventures.
How does the Business Diagnostic Tool work, and who is it for?
Our free diagnostic helps us evaluate your business structure, documentation, credit readiness, and overall positioning. It’s ideal for both new entrepreneurs and existing business owners who want to restart smart or prepare for funding. It’s the first step in every service path we offer.
What kind of support do real estate investors receive?
Real estate clients—especially students of Flip Dat Hood University—can receive full financial oversight for rehab projects. This includes managing capital flow, paying contractors, and ensuring accurate records. Our goal is to help investor clients stay focused while we handle the back-office strategy and accountability.
What makes Bluestone Capital Group different from other consulting firms?
We don’t just give advice—we build infrastructure. From hands-on entity formation to project fund oversight, we offer tiered support through books, courses, coaching, and custom services. Our founder, Dr. Shanté Griggs, brings deep experience in business strategy, education, and finance with a community-first approach.
Can Bluestone help if my business is already formed but not fundable?
Yes. That’s actually our specialty. Many clients come to us with LLCs or corporations that were never set up with funding in mind. Through our Restart Smart process, we assess your structure, credit profile, and documentation—then guide you in optimizing what you have so you can qualify for capital and scale.
How does Blue Stone Capital Group ensure confidentiality and data protection?
We prioritize the privacy of all our clients. Sensitive information is handled securely, and we use protected digital tools for intake, communication, and recordkeeping. Our consulting and project management services operate under strict confidentiality terms as outlined in all agreements.
