Before you get started I would first recommend that you look to the SCORE Association. SCORE is a non-profit
group dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation and success of small businesses across the country.
Both working and retired business executives donate their time and expertise to provide confidential business
counseling FREE of charge. That's right. No charge. So don't pass this up.
The link for 389 SCORE chapter websites from all over America online is
http://www.score.org/findscore/localinks.html
However, there are some parts of the country that don't have SCORE chapters nearby. If you don't immediately see
your region on the above link, you may search for a chapter online. The link is
http://www.score.org/findscore/chapter_maps.html
But I must tell you that even though many of the loans that are mentioned are independent of the SBA, most
small business loans do go through the SBA in one way or another. This is because typically in communities
the SBA acts as a clearinghouse of sorts for any small business loans. They'll look at a client's needs
and try to match them with the best sources for income. Most communities also have loans offered through
individual city and county governments that cater specifically to small, small, small businesses, such
as the dollar figure you would be seeking. You should contact your town economic development office to
find out what specific loans their area governments can help with.
Also, you need to form a detailed business plan for your individual craft or jewelry businesses. Don't
let this scare you. It's not that difficult and you can take your time and do it your way but this is
something you really should do anyway. Any lender is going to want to see a detailed proposal that outlines
exactly what your plan of attack will be, how the business will be profitable, and when it will be profitable.
SCORE or the SBA can help you or your clients gather information needed to create a sound business plan.
PLEASE NOTE---IF YOU HAVE A GOOD BUSINESS PLAN YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE MONEY FROM SOMEWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://businessplans.org also offers some good information about creating
a business plan.
I've assembled a list of non-profit organizations across the country that accept applications for small business
loans. The loans these non-profit organizations help small business owners are on the small dollar level only.
While the loan you would be seeking would be on the small end of what these organizations assist with, these
groups are ones you should contact. I'm breaking them down by the name of the non-profit organization, the address
and state, and all contact information, including websites if available.
The loans offered by these groups are called Micro Loans. The average loan size is about $10,500, but smaller
loans are certainly available! With this type of loan, you would need to contact the agency in the area listed
below and tell them you would like to apply for their Micro Loan Program. Collateral may be needed for these loans,
but the money is there to be lent to you for your home jewelry business.
Micro Loans are available in a maximum of six-year terms. Interest rates for these loans vary greatly, depending
on the costs by the lenders. In addition, each Micro Loan lender listed below has its own requirements in terms
of collateral and credit rating required to acquire the loan. All will require the personal assurance of the business
owner that he or she will pay the loan back.

MAKE A SMALL BUSINESS LOAN TO START YOUR HOME JEWELRY BUSIENSS
You may find it better to acquire an unsecured small
business loan. There are many lenders that can assist with this, but
they typically do require a high credit rating.

types of businesses. You may access this company online. The link is

DO YOU HAVE A DISABILITY AND WANT YOUR OWN JEWELRY BUSINESS?
Different states offer different loans and programs to those with disabilities to start businesses.
First, you should know about publications published by the U.S.
Department of Education that can help YOU file for the money you need for small businesses and other
financial needs. You may view the list of publications on the Department of Education's website. The
jargon is somewhat complicated but just slowly go through it and you will get some good ideas. The link is
http://www.ed.gov/policy/speced/guid/rsa/techassis-circular.html?exp=0
I located a list of state organizations that offer programs for those
with disabilities. They're broken down by state with all relevant
contact information. You may view this list online through the
Department of Education's website. The link is

CURRENT AND FORMER MILITARY PERSONNEL----MONEY IS WAITING!!
This program is called the DANTES Tuition Assistance Management Program and it is available to just about
any current or past military personnel. It funds education and training for
former and current military personnel in approved areas by approved agencies. Students can read about how
to apply for the program online. The link is:
http://www.dantes.doded.mil/dantes_web/tuitionassistance/InfoForStudents.htm
In addition, you may find information on the DANTES homepage helpful.

Further, there are some loan programs available to former military
personnel. "The 7(a) Loan Guaranty Program. provides loans to small
businesses unable to secure financing on reasonable terms through
normal lending channels. The program operates through private-sector
lenders that provide," according to the SBA. You may read more about
this loan program online. The link is
http://www.sba.gov/financing/sbaloan/7a.html
The 7(a) Loan program requires that "the applicant must first be
eligible. Repayment ability from the cash flow of the business is a
primary consideration in the SBA loan decision process but good
character, management capability, collateral, and owner's equity
contribution are also important considerations. All owners of 20
percent or more are required to personally guarantee SBA loans."
The Pre-qualification Pilot Loan Program, according to the SBA, "uses
intermediaries to assist prospective borrowers in developing viable
loan application packages and securing loans. Once the loan package is
assembled, it is submitted to the SBA for expedited consideration; a
decision usually is made within three days. If the application is
approved, the SBA issues a letter of pre-qualification stating the
SBA's intent to guarantee the loan. The maximum amount for loans under
the program is $250,000; the SBA will guarantee up to 80 percent for
loans up to & including $100,000 and 75 percent for loans over
$100,000. The intermediary (usually a Small Business Development
Center) then helps the borrower locate a lender offering the most
competitive rates. Small Business Development Centers serving as
intermediaries do not charge a fee for loan packaging. For-profit
organizations will charge a fee." You may read more about this program
online. The link is
http://www.sba.gov/financing/sbaloan/prequalification.html
A good article that may be of interest is "Overview of Financing
Options." You may read this article online. The link is
http://www.morebusiness.com/running_your_business/financing/overview.brc
A good website dedicated to entrepreneurs has links to many articles
sorted into different financing categories like angel, venture, and
loans. All these cater to small businesses.
You may access the list of articles on this site from conventional
sources online. Plus there is some neat audio on financing a small business that is quite interesting. The link is:
http://www.entreworld.org/Channel/SYB.cfm?Topic=FincSrcs
You may access the list of articles on this site from lenders online.
The link is
http://www.entreworld.org/Channel/SYB.cfm?Topic=FincLoan
You may access the list of articles on this site for angel loans
online. Entrepreneurial concerns that don't have collateral and are
less likely to secure bank loans are good candidates for "angel"
funding. Angels are private individuals who invest in promising
starting businesses. The link is

In closing I want to say that all the opportunity in the world is waitng for you -- all you have to do is
reach out and grab it!! If you obtain some money for the purchase of my course from this information, please
