i am recently divorced -- 3 weeks to be exact. i have been trying to start up a mobile pet grooming business and am having oheck of time getting financing. seems my credit took a hit during this divorce. most of the reasons i am declined is lack of credit history ( i won my own home) and length of time owning the business. the banks just can't be bothered -- meanwhile i have a ton of people waiting for me to start. i am losing money at this point !! can anyone help with any advice as to what i can do??? besides play powerball !!!! thanks.

bonniecypher...

Since there are SEVERAL PEOPLE waiting in line to help you get your mobile pet grooming business off the ground.....what's wrong with 'tapping their brains' a little? PG is willing to bet that one of them has a connection (or two) with a financial backer or possibly, a philanthropist...who can provide start-up funds for your business?

Don't rely on POWERBALL.....those odds aren't in ANYBODY'S FAVOR! Go with a sure thing by letting your friends and family members help you 'jump start' your business. You can always pay 'em back with a free pet groom or two later on?

GOOD LUCK!
