Ok, so heres the thing, I am trying with all of my mite to start up a wonderful little business that will do wonders. I have the products set up and ready for me to buy. I have the buyers ready to buy them from me. Now all I need is startup capital. At the moment I am a stay at home mom and my husband works full time. All of our money is going to bills and doctors and food and such. I had my sister in law saying that she would lend us the money on January 15th, then it was febuary 15th now she says Oh it will have to be next month. Its not even an issue of her not having the money, I know she does and she knows that I know, but she dosnt care, shes just petty like that. Nobody else I know has the money that I need and I have bad credit due to late credit card payments from like 5 years ago and am unable to get a personal or business loan. I have registered my business and got the tax ID and everything. Its not even that much, just $2000 which is really not alot when starting up a new business, but really and for truly that is all that I need. Besides friends and family and the ever credit judgmental banks does anyone have any honest ideas on how to obtain a small loan of $2000 that would be paid back in one year?

instead of a loan, have you considered applying for a small business grant from the government? i know they give them for small business, in home business, minority, and women owned business's. Here is a link to the US gov page on grants, it includes the application info, and even has applicant helps. http://www.grants.gov/ (main page for grants) this link is to find grants. http://www.grants.gov/applicants/find_grant_opportunities.jsp Hope that helps you, and GOOD LUCK! p.s. excellent user name!
