Google SCORE and SBA local chapters, go to free local chamber mixers to meet possible short term investors, and don’t give up. Especially when your 3 feet from gold. Been there and lost because I let hurdlers be bigger than they were. Google Grant’s for business. Verizon is currently offering up to 10,000 grant’s for small businesses. US Bank has been doing grant’s in Inland Empire and Los Angeles counties. I don’t know about other counties. Check to see if your county or state has small business grants. Los Angeles county has a whole department dedicated to help small businesses get grants. Take a chance, put an ad online seeking short term investors. Know how much you need, add 20% to cover unforeseen events and what you will pay back. If you get an investor, be more frugal than you would be to have cash for the pay back if you don’t need to spend it. Remember to always pay back investors because they will trust you when the business needs to grow to the next level. Avoid day lenders, the interest will eat more money leaving very little for what you need. Continue seeking.
