Getting Funding to Purchase a Business?
Question:
Answer:
I started a tax recovery business for 20K. I just went to the bank and talked with the president and he gave me an unsecured personal loan. Be careful of your interest rate though, I got 9%, but I've heard of people getting as high as 22% on an unsecured loan. If you have any collateral (car, equity in house, ira, 401K, etc.), you should have no problem getting 25K at a good rate (7-9%).
I have heard of the Small Business Development Centers (or SBA or Score) getting people lined up with government loans at 3% interest for business startup so I would check into that if I was you.
I hope I've been of some help and good luck!
There is a website called Prosper.com that is perfect for exactly that kind of loan.
Here's info about the SBA loan program ...
