I am looking to start up a new business. I was wondering if there were any grants out there for “women starting up a small business”? I’ve been trying to read up on some of the stimulus packages but am not able to understand how to get some of the benefits. Thank you for you time. I would love to hear from you soon.

I am a small business owner of a Medical Billing Agency for 19 years. I currently have 6 employees all of them have a family responsability. My business for 19 years now is currently not doing well at all. last Year alone I lost a lot of money due to the fact, some of my clients are forced to work for a Medical group or take a full time job in a hospital. This year, I am so worried about my business because I don’t have the money to market my business to get more clients or to compete with my competitors. It’s hard-wrenching for me to let go my workers because some of them are single moms and have a house to pay their mortgages. So, they will be forced to go to unemployment or facing foreclosure. I would like to know if there anyone out there, that can tell me where to go to benefit to the President’s stimulus plan for small business. Or if I can find a community Bank that can assist me on working cash so therefore, I can keep my business running until the economy gets better. and keep my workers that I have no mean of income than unemployment or welfare. Please help me to find a Bank or invester for microloan or maybe as a small business owner I can probably benefit for the new plan that President Obama just past for small business. Myself, I can face foreclosure as well if i can’t make it work for my business. Please I need help desperately and I do not have credit at all nor for my business. Please reply to it if you know good link. I do not wish to get those internet advertising that ask for me to apply for money. Because I do not have.

Please note, my office is in the suburb of New York . Suffolk Count.

Awaiting for help desperately,

Patricia

I am a small drywall, metal framing contractor that has been in the trade for more than 20 years, and have owned my company now for 2 years. We have averaged 1.2 million in labor alone for those two years. I have a great deal of contracts signed at this moment, and need a financial backer to help me grow and to help with my overhead, such as payroll capital, and to pay my suppliers when bills are due. I’ve exhusted all the money I have and Im paying by credit card until checks come in, but it takes up to 60 days at times to receive funds due. Please if there is anyone who is interested in backing a hard driving, hungry to succeed person, please email me at tommy.sfcsi@gmail.com.

We have been in business for 3 years, only to struggle since the downturn of the market. Prior to the blowout, Hills Shoes earned $450K annually, selling high-end men’s shoes. Previous owner developed a business that has withstood every downfall for 75 years. We assumed this business would be prosperous and take care of our family. Wrong, we open the doors to pay the rent, cannot afford supplies, employees, and keep the heat off to save on energy. Therefore we work in winter coats here in California due to the drastic weather change. We can look at it another way, “LOOK AT HAITI”, however we are in AMERICA the greatest country in the world.

PLEASE HELP: All we need is a small loan $100K no hand-outs.

The business is called, jahadabotanicals & Company….it’s an all natural body product company. Unfortunately without any City help, July 2010 this small minority, woman own business will go out of business. Folks with disabilities is employed in the store, they will lose their jobs as well…who out there is really helping the people with all of this so call money to keep small business open…who qualifies?
