Money follows management. It is not a great product, but a great management team that will help you get the financing you need. Lenders want to be assured they will receive their money back. If you surround yourself with other people who have done this and have been successful, a lender will feel more secure lending the money. Gather a management team of other business owners, consultants, attorneys, accountants or any other professional who can help support your business. It is impossible for you to know everything, and every successful business person surrounds themselves with people who are smarter that they are. Once you have built your management team/advisory board, then a business plan is next. There are many resources available to explain how this works. I think with a good team of advisors and a business plan, your chances of getting financing will be better.

I know someone said the SBA was no help, but I strongly suggest you check out their resources for women-owned businesses, which includes among the resources available new grant postings

So find yourself a venture capitalist. They loan money to start up ventures. You will need a viable business plan, income and projections, a marketing, advertising and sales strategy, general description of the type of business, financial projections, management qualifications, etc. They finance businesses all over the world that are ligitimate and can become profitable.

Buy a copy of Entrepreneur Magazine from any Filbars or your local magazine store. They have contact numbers of franchises within your budget (Nacho King goes for about 20K). You can get ideas too about starting up almost any kind of business from that magazine.

The idea from the other user about prosper.com is certainly good. If you have payments due you from work you have done you may be able to get the money faster from a company thay does factoring. (they give you money up front for your receivables). Also, I have taken on contract work before in my business when things were slow. I don't know if that would work for you, but maybe. Do you have any items you can sell on ebay to raise cash? Are you near any larger towns – perhaps there is a market for your services in those areas. Good luck with everything.
