    I'm Back... with an UPDATE!

    While I am still very much keeping an eye )and ear) open for "fastlane" business ideas that I would be interested in doing, I have opened York County's 1st Limited Distillery! We opened March 2013 and it has been going very well!! We have a lot of regulations to follow, but what business doesn't...

    I'm Back... with an UPDATE!

    I'd like to start by saying I truly enjoyed and was motivated by the Fastlane book (thanks MJ). I have been unable to figure out a fastlane business as outlined in the book. I really WANT to develop an online fastlane business and will continue to keep searching for that idea to pursue (although...

    Have a business, met with an investor tonight. Few questions

    PEOPLE 
    They are asking for too much, and they are want to start you with too much "stuff" too early. You don't need all of that stuff to get going. If you need to pay for licenses to get started, I would set aside money each pay, and don't touch it, until you have saved enough to get your licenses...

    Have a business, met with an investor tonight. Few questions

    PEOPLE 
    I am also in the process of looking for funding to start business. What you described does not sound good to me. You have to understand completely what they are telling you before agreeing or you will surely be sorry later!! Have you tried getting a loan from the bank? Do you have equity...

    New Business Cash needs

    PEOPLE 
    Actually, we already have a lot of "skin in the game" so far. Starting a business requires a lot of cash and time, way before the "main event" money comes into play. Business isn't new to us, but this particular business is very different from most others, and unfortunately it does require a...

    New Business Cash needs

    PEOPLE 
    I have thought about it, Patrick. But I am a risk taker unlike many people. I do have a formal business education. My partner and I are previous business owners. Our previous businesses were both successful and are still in operation, but we each sold out. If I had 50% of the money to put...

    New Business Cash needs

    PEOPLE 
    when you say "peer to peer" lending, are you referring to asking friends and family, or more like other business people? I am finding that even with a solid business plan and a promise of 5% interest on the loan amount, people are still scared to part with the "security" they know (i.e. the...

    Hello neighbor! Thanks for the post. Still looking for investors. I worked up the nerve to ask a wealthy friend to invest cash for a interest rate the banks are not giving.... I have to wait a few days for answer. Where in central PA are you? Since you are local, You will hear about my...

    where to put your money?

    Since I am a forward thinker, and I know I will be successful in business, I have been trying to research where wealthy people put all their money, so I know what to do when I get there. Since banks only insure up to $100k, where do you put the rest safely, and at a place where it is easily...

    New Business Cash needs

    PEOPLE 
    Unfortunately, there is no equipment leasing available in this business. But we, (my brother and I), have decided to go with a different company's equipment to shave off some of the cash requirements, and then go with the bigger equipment later on, moving us down to 80k. I totally understand a...

    New Business Cash needs

    PEOPLE 
    We know exactly how much money we will need for equipment and supplies. The problem with most lenders including SBA is that they want you to put up a percentage of the total amount, and well, I wouldn't be asking for a loan if I had that much money laying around! :smug2: The lady I spoke to...

    hello! I have been MIA for some time for too many reasons to explain or bore you with!! But I am back and trying to dive into the forum again! I have a question on obtaining cash for a start-up business.... Most banks want you to put forth a large chunk of cash and then they will in turn loan...

    Overwhelmed by website set-up

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Update! I purchased a domain name, and I made a website on a paid host (instead of the free site I was using). Now I have to get my mind around how to drive traffic, and monetize the site. This is definitely my weakest area. The cPanel is like a foreign language to me. I want to utilize...

    Overwhelmed by website set-up

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Thanks for the support!! I have been going through the Challenge that Jonleehacker suggested (although at an accelerated rate!) and I am hearing much of the same things I learned on SBI when I made a natural health website. It is all good and I welcome the info. I am just waiting for that "AH...
