Did your bank turn you down for a loan and cause you to give up on the great idea you had for a new business? That’s pretty weak. It was either a poor idea or you have been listening to the news media and your neighbors about the state of the economy and the difficulties of getting a new business loan. Did you think it was going to be easy? Is it possible that with all of this talk of recession and economic decline that you thought your humble idea would attract support? Hopefully, you did, because there are plenty of other options for finding financing. You just have to know where to look.
