  • SCORE.org is a great resource of information on any business topic. Retired/semi retired professionals provide free counseling sessions (in person, phone or online) and are a wealth of knowledge. You may find financing opportunities in your area.
    Good Luck!

  • I am earing money to help my business get off the ground by going through my house and finding things I do not use and selling them on E-Bay. It doesn't sound like much but believe me anything I make I put right back into my business!!

  • When you find out please share.... I started my home biz on a shoe string and so far the dollars have been marching out... I have faith and determination that it will turn itself around.
