Thank you for reviewing my website. Now about the down payment program, I don't know where you saw that but it's not on our website about down payment programs. So if you can point to me the section that says that then i would  greatly appreciate it.&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>I have a question for fundme, cashonhand which ever one.  You say you dont offer "start-up" capital.  What exactly is your down payment assistance program on your website? Isn't that providing "start-up" capital for your clients who need a down payment for the SBA program.  I'm curious because isnt that helping your clients to borrow money to borrow more money?  I'm curious, but at the same time confused.  I would think that would be considered "start-up" provided from your company money to get my hands on money provided by the SBA program.  Please elaborate for everyone responding to the topic.</description>

      <description>&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;My advice comes from working as a trouble shooter and food &amp;#38; beverage assistant for over 15 years.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*+1.  STEAL TALENT...yes you heard me, steal!  If you met a very very talented individual &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;2.  THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS COMPETITION!  There isnt if you remember this  Make the consumer your friend...not a customer, and make sure your staff re-inforces this mind set.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;3. IDENTIFY,RESEARCH,RESEARCH  Identify your sec levels...Socio Economic Classes...are they bikers, retirees, golf enthusiast, nascar enthusiast...now ask THEM what they want and how THEY WANT IT...not how you want it!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;4. BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME!  The bar...I built what Epicurious.com referred to as the dream bar...I ended up with business men trying flights "samples of high end liquor" and playing duelling expense accounts...increased liqour sales by 48%.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;5. DO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR BUSINESS...BUT! You have to love your business but, never accept it's flaws always evolve til you eliminate these flaws.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;6. MARKETING...SHMARKETING  True marketing is done by your staff...everything they say about your business becomes gospel...send your bartenders to other bars...and restaurant staff to other restaurants spreading the gospel...on your dime!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</description>

      <description>Hello Mr. Faulkner, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I saw that you asked Stacey if she is looking for some capitol for any projects. I am in the process of starting a project similar to a restaurant but more so a lounge. I would like to discuss any opportunities to gain capitol with you.</description>
