Have you been going to the banks asking for loans with little to no success? Are you getting turned down every time, but really need funds for personal and/or business purposes? Well I found out a good site you can check out.
When I was coming home from working out my mom, who's the owner of Heavenly Essence, Inc. (www.heavenlyessence.net), was looking through the website www.prosper.com, where millions of investors can be reached that are willing to invest in your company. Best of all, the base rates for what you lend from investors are lower than what you would get from if you received a laon from a bank.
All you need is to set up and account, and list some info about your business, how much you need, and what you'll be using the funds for. In addition, I suggest you forecast what you plan to make within a long term period. This way investors will believe you'll make a profit and will be able to pay them back.
