anybody willing to help me to have any small capital to start small online business.. do help me.
I own a lighting distributorship, offering retail sales to the general public, wholesale to the trade (architects, designers, and contractors), and lighting design and dimming specialization to commercial and residential remodel and new construction clients in the Pacific Northwest. I have been in business for three years as a distributorship, 12 years as a lighting designer, and have been in this industry for over 20 years. (www.dpalightingfixtures.com) My immediate needs are for cash flow, in order to pay vendors, and sustain my business’ daily needs. Ultimately, in the long term, I want to open a showroom in the Bothell, or Woodinville area, whereby I can provide, not only the services I currently offer, but educational seminars and demonstrations of proper lighting designs, green technology, and to show the advantages of smart home control systems in order to educate designers, architects, contractors, and those in the community, that these techniques can be used residentially and commercially and still provide the light output that is necessary for comfort and reality within the daily schedule, without breaking the budget. LED is a new technology, and is largely unknown amongst the community, let alone those that work in the architectural and design arenas.
If you are both looking for start up capital, you should start with building your business credit score first. An investor, or bank for that matter will take you much more serious if you have an established strong business credit score.
With such a tough economy, I am surprised so many people are asking for such high start up funds. It makes me question how many people are legit on here, and not here to just rip off private investors. I'm an at home mom with something to work hard for -- my family! I will do whatever it takes to succeed for them. I am looking to start a home-based and on-location children's photography business. As a social mom, I already have tons of customers waiting! My business has a very low start up cost of only $5,000. I want to do everything digitally so that moms can have edited pictures of their kids the same day! Also, a unique feature of my business is shared rights to the photos so that they can have the photos printed themselves wherever they choose. If you are interested in talking, please email me at sugarsnapphoto@gmail.com Thank you for your time and interest.
