Small business owners are the core of our economy. It seems to me that so many people in this country view business owners as evil and greedy when it is their risk taking for the hopes of profit that benfits us all by jobs, products and services produced and tax revenue when they are successful. We enact legislation such as raising the minimum wage and it only hurts these individuals and allows larger businesses who have the ability to withstand difficult economic mandates to thrive at the expense of the small business owner. Why do so few people see the big picture and do more to help create an environment conducive for small businesses to thrive?

Cruisin4abruisin asked:


I was denied a 15,000 loan (at a local bank that has several local branches) for starting my small business, because I have no equity or collateral, but I’m only 22 years old. Not many 22 year olds that I know have stocks, bonds or investments.

In the meetings I had with the loan manager, she seemed impressed and confident in my business plan. But on paper, I guess I don’t seem like such a good loan applicant.

Is it more likely that I would be approved at a national bank?

What tips can you give me for next time I apply.
-Which banks are likely to approve someone without collateral.
-OR, What can I use as collateral or as a substitute.
-Any other tips?

Any information you can give me would mean a lot. Thank you!

Nani Girl asked:


I may open up a small business in Mexico City. I am from Hawaii and my husband is from Mexico City. We want to save money in Hawaii and eventually move to Mexico and open up a small business out there. He owns a house out there so we don’t have to worry about paying rent. Anyone done this or know of anyone? I know some people say life is hard there. But aren’t there people who make it okay if they have some money?

Stitch asked:


So, I work as a distributor for a part plan company called Pure Romance. This is a great business, but it is hard to start with very little stock. It is better to have a large inventory to sell from. It saves in shipping expenses, etc.

Does anyone know how I would go about trying to find a small business investment for around 5k in inventory? Would anyne really consider it in this business?

I have set up a small business website account with Yahoo using my Yahoo id. I get most of my business email through this address, and would love to have notification that I’ve gotten an email instead of having to log in every day.
