At Table SALT Group, we believe that informed decision-making is the foundation of equitable progress. As a non-partisan think tank, our goal is to turn policy into practical knowledge—especially for mission-driven entrepreneurs, MWBEs, and legacy-minded founders.
This article explores what it truly means to be “OBBB-Ready” in the wake of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), a policy packed with infrastructure and investment opportunities. But policy alone isn’t enough. Tools like CoachQuad GPT™, developed by Table SALT Group, are here to bridge the gap between awareness and action—turning funding readiness into a legacy-building strategy.
What Does “OBBB‑Ready” Really Mean?
With the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) now law, small businesses and nonprofits have new tools for investing in infrastructure—like permanent 23% tax deductions and full expensing for equipment. But it’s not enough to know it’s there—you need to prove you’re eligible, ready to use it, and ready to turn tax savings into strategic growth. That’s where being OBBB‑Ready comes in.
Enter CoachQuad GPT™
CoachQuad GPT™ is your on‑demand methodology partner built on the Table SALT Group legacy framework—and it’s designed to help you get funding‑ready, fast. Whether you’re prepping a capability statement, checking entity structure, or mapping out reinvestment plans, the tool walks you through each step.
Use Case: Meet Maria, Growing with Intention
Background:
Maria runs a community‑centered café that wants to expand into a small catering arm. She qualified for bonus depreciation on new kitchen equipment—thanks to OBBB—but didn’t know how to present it in grant proposals or procurement applications.
With CoachQuad GPT™, Maria:
Created Her Capability Statement
- The tool prompted her to include how new equipment positions her café for large‑scale meal contracts with schools and nonprofits.
- She plugged in OBBB deductions and savings and added projected hiring outcomes into the statement.
Mapped a Strategic Reinvestment Plan
- Using a guided template, she listed qualifying purchases (ovens, refrigeration, packaging gear) and calculated expected savings.
- CoachQuad GPT™ suggested how to frame her tax‑smart reinvestment in community hiring and youth training.
Checked Her Compliance Readiness
- The tool walked her through SAM.gov registration, EIN verification, cybersecurity basics, and core certification checks (WBE, HUBZone).
- Output: A prep list she used to complete her procurement checklist within 10 days.
Result: Maria submitted a city catering proposal and won a 2‑month contract because she demonstrated OBBB‑driven planning, community impact, and documented systems.
Lessons from Black to the Future
OBBB’s policy is a reminder that true economic independence isn’t about a one‑off win—it’s about systems that last. Just like the entrepreneurs of Greenwood chose ownership and structure—with assets, banks, and shared institutions—today’s founders must invest in systems that survive beyond a single moment.
CoachQuad GPT™ embodies that legacy thinking:
- Legacy isn’t passive—it’s built with decisions you make today
- Infrastructure is the backbone behind cultural prosperity
- Being OBBB‑Ready means thinking big, structuring well, and planning carefully
