      <description>I would advise you to get a nevada or a wyoming corporation and if you have a fico of over 700 you can also apply for up to 100k per bank.  But it is also important you structure things carefully first... there are tips you can find on www.businessformationgroup.com/creditsecrets.html&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>LBO In today's economy the banks are lending 50% to 85% of cash flow for purchasing a existing cash flow positive business. You must have 700+ personal credit and collateral to accomplish this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Try and find a owner who is just a investor and not actively in involved in day to day operations and would be interested in selling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can then brand your vision also ask for a portion of price to be owner financed.</description>

      <description>Getting any kind of loan in today's market is hard.  If you have lots of experience, excellent credit, and tons of collateral or equity, you might qualify for a SBA loan.  Ohter than that, seek out funds from friends or family or network within your community to find investors/partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most banks are not lending - especially to start-ups and other non-bank lenders and investor lenders are suspending programs for now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are looking to purchase an already established business - and you have great credit and 30% to 40% equity, you may be able to get a commercial mortgage loan - but, it will not provide funds for working capital (advertising, payroll, or supplies).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are seeking equipment - their are still a few remaining lenders that specialize in equipment loans and leases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I guess it really depends on what you are looking for.</description>

      <description>PS  I love chinese food especially when it's good...I'm spoiled...I'm from NYC where if the restaurant isn't great they can't stay open for long.  so it has to be exceptionally tasty and presentable at reasonable prices...I like sechuan and contonese style chinese food...there was this awesome place right on irving Place...i must have eaten there at least once a week...everyone eating in it was chinese...that's how you can tell it's going to be great food</description>
