I would like to start a landscaping business..--Answer1:go to state bank of india. you will get the loan easily. if it is canara bank they have seperate cell for women entrepreuers. it depends on how serious you are in your businessarunarun_kodur@yahoo.coin.--Answer2:The best place to go is a bank you already have a relationship with. If you have sufficient collateral, regardless of what you hear about the financial crisis, banks are making loans, its what they do. No collateral = no loan. Stay away from the many scams out there, and never pay someone up front for the opportunity to get a loan. They are supposed to give you money, not the other way around..--Answer3:Yes. Women do have a better chance of getting a loan, along with minorities. Certain banks set aside loans specifically for women. Contact the Small Business Administration. They actually have a loan program for women and can provide you with business consultation on their various products.Good Luck!
