You NEED a written business plan!
Lenders want to see something more than JUST SOMEONE ELSE “darkening the doorway, asking for money”.
You’ll probably have to go to a “hard money lender”. The interest rates are very high. Those folks have absolutely no mercy or compassion at no time or any time – not even around the holidays.
They want to be paid: each month – every month; on-time and every time.
If you have anything of value, you’ll pledge it or put it up as collateral. You’ll “sign your life away on that dotted line”.
Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!
