I would love to open up a small restaurant in my town; diner-style, catering to the baby boomers, older folks & diner-lovers alike; There is a small building for sale in my (small) town that was previously a bar. It was a crappy bar catering basically only to the motorcycle people. The hours were also horrible & so was the food. So I am not surprised it went under. Anyway, I think a diner could really take off because we dont have one yet in my small town. I do not want to just make money, I want to help my town with a resturaunt that is muchly needed. It is also kind of becoming a dream of mine. Any advice greatly appreciated, especiallly from anyone who has gone through something similar or opened any small businesses. Yes, I DO know it would NOT be easy. But How do I go about getting money? Take out loans? where do I start? I am very serious about this idea. I am a 21 year old college student getting a degree in Commercial Advertising (for photography). I will be graduating in May. I do not have a lot of money to go around. Thanks for input, again it will be greatly appreciated!.--Answer1:Hello,I live in the US and i really have never seen goodness shown to me thismuch in my life as i am a struggling mum with three kids and i have been goingthrough really rough times in my life and my name is HelenPeters and in all this hard times, a worse incident occured in my life as ilost my job which was my only means of survival and things became really bad asi had bills to pay and my last son suffered a knee injury incurred when he fellfrom a tree house and the doctors informed me that he needed a surgicaloperation for his knee so he could walk again and at this point, life wasuseless to me as i have no family and no one to run to and each night, i willsit down and cry till the break of dun until one day, i read an advert on yahooanswers of man that stated that he could help people in my shoes with loans andin my desperate situation, i had no choice but i had to try and so shocking andsuprising, it was like an impossibility becoming a reality, i got a loan of$75,000 USD even with my bad credit within 48 hours and my sons surgery was doneand thank GOD it was successful and now, i am okay and living in comfort with mykids and i said to my self, i have never ever seen this kind of wonder in lifeand i decided i will tell it to the whole wild world and i need every one tothank GOD for Mr Patrick Harvey, the man GOD used to rescue me and my familyeven when all hope had been lost and gone and i will say to every one, no matterhow dark and sinful the world is today, there are still GOD fearing and reliablepeople on earth and if you are in my former situation or require a loanlegitimately, i will advice you contact this loan lender and you can reach himvia patrickharvey12@yahoo.com and i want you all to pray for this man for me.
