I am a certified machinery and equipment appraiser. I have been marketing my service for close to a year now and to no avail I have not made any money. In this business you market to the banks. I have called on (really) every bank in the state of illinois and kept intouch with the chef lending officers/follow up,etc…. and know one seems to need the service most banks in Illinois are realestate banks and don’t secure loans with equipment.

Should I just give up and do something else or keep going. I cannot afford to keep throwing money at marketing the business.

what should I do?

I’m looking to start a business. RD is going to take 12-18 months at which point we’ll decide if we want to look for funding.

Given the possibility of asking the bank for the loan in the future, I was thinking of incorporating now. Securing a corporate credit card with some assets and building a credit rating for this new corporation in the mean time. Does anyone have any experience with this? Would the bank care?

I am looking for a loan to help my Business excel in this economy. In order to do so I must upgrade my equipment to meet and or exceed industry standards. I also would use the loan to pay off a my debt that has accrued during equipment failure, and untimely downtime. I am well set in the company that I am leased on with, and know that my job and Business is secure. I have looked into federal loans as well as grants, but have yet to find any that a truck driver/owner operator would qualify for. thanks in advance for the help!

Do you need to give a personal guarantee on a secured loan, for an LLC in Texas?

comrade904 asked:


I want to setup an LLC. to get a loan on a rental property. Would I have to give a personal guarantee, or would the property be enough collateral.

The property is a commercial property at 20000sqft with 8 units and 8 current tenants at $1000 each per month. The property would cost me $600000.

I went through a bad divorce, and I am staying with a friend. I own two cars but nothing else. I have bad personal credit, and I am worried that a personal guarantee could put my friend on the hook as well.
Why doesn’t the property itself count as the collateral?

I have a business plan, and a building picked out that I would like to purchase. I have looked at several websites including grants.gov and sba.com to find a way of getting the money I need, and haven’t had much luck. I would love to get a grant, but it is really hard to find grants that I qualify for. I have horrible credit, so a loan is also going to be difficult to get unless I can find a way to get financed using something other than my own personal credit history. I don’t have anyone to co-sign for me, either. However, I am confident that my business will be successful, due to the fact that I have absolutely no competition whatsoever in my area. I also have a unique and sound business plan and some very good ideas. Has anyone here ever gotten a grant for this purpose? How about a business loan with bad credit? Any ideas? Any info would help!! Thanks, all!!

Starting a Small Business From Scratch?

MarĂ­n asked:


I have a great idea for a business in Boston. I am looking to work out of my home. I have done nothing yet to start this except research online. What is the FIRST step in this process? It will be a delivery-type business (not food) until I can get situated, so I do not need a business loan for a building right now. Any tips? I would love to hear from people (not just from MA) who had an idea and just went with it, having huge success doing so. Also, what you did wrong/would go back and do differently would help as well. Thank you!

Where can I find work on a daily basis?

joshua asked:


Hi there. I am in Newport News VA, and I am looking to suppliment my income as an ops manager on my days off with some day labor. I called the agencies and they say that pay starts at 7 per hour. Yeah right. Anyway, I have looked everywhere I can think of: Craigslist, carreer builder, newspapers, online classifieds, and friends. No one seems to know where I can go to work for the day, and be paid decently for my time and hard work. Do people still hang out in front of home depot and get contractors to hire them for the day? I guess I could do that. Any help anyone can offer is greatly appreciated. I want to buy a motorcycle, and I would really rather not be paying high interest on a loan, or waiting 5 months starving myself to get the money I need. Thanks again.
Oh yeah. BTW. All you home based internet get rich from your reclining chair in your living room pushing people should all die a horrible death. Dont bother posting on my question. Did it SEEM in the description that I was an idiot? Geez. The question is up for 3 seconds and I already have spam on it. Great.
