Question I've been selling my handmade jewelry out of the antique/coffee shop that I currently work in. Eventually I'd love to expand and open a funky kind of retro store, I have lots of ideas for it, but I don't have good credit, much money, or much merchandise at the moment. Basically, I'm willing to take my time, but I have no clue where to get started to make it to my long term goal? Could you help me out?
You also can try to rebuild your credit by yourself. To read more about this subject go to: http://www.blquest.biz/serv04.htm and click on “Credit Education” link.
Where and how to get money?
1) You can apply for Microloan. The federal government introduced a special loan program called the “Microloan Program” which is designed to help applicants who cannot qualify for a traditional business loan because of poor, or lack of credit, and little, or no collateral. These loans range from $100 to $25,000 and can be used for the purchase of furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, inventory and working capital. (http://www.blquest.biz/microloan.htm)
