      <title>Large Proposal Questions</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/thread/17570</link>
      <description>We have an opportunity to bid on a six figure contract for a large company but I have a few simple questions that I need a seasoned person to answer. Let me say that our services include landscape maintenance and exterior cleaning (such as powerwashing). We will be working for a company that has 20 properties spread out between two states. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question #1: For large estimates is it expected that the proposed price includes all necessary taxes or should we list our price and show the tax as a seperate fidure?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Questions #2: This would be a major step up for our company and we will need to put about $10k-$20k into additional equipment purchases. Is it unreasonable to ask for $20k upfront (upon contract signing) to be taken away from future monthly payments? This way we can get some money interest free as we would only be borrowing from our future profits. Of course there would be a cancelation schedule, in the event that the company chooses to terminate service they do not pay more than they would have had they not lent us the $20k up front.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any input from people with experience in large contracts is much appreciated.</description>

      <title>Any Hope for Startup Financing?</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/thread/9418</link>
      <description>&lt;br /&gt;
Despite a grim financial market outlook and a freeze on lending, is there hope for startup financing?  SBA and traditional methods of starting up a well poised start-up company have all but dried up.  Is there anyone providing lending for a startup company with contracts in hand and additional contracts to be added once the equipment and inventories are in place?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Company:  Roper Aero Industries, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;
Status: Newly Incorporated&lt;br /&gt;
Industry: Aviation &amp;#38; Aerospace Manufacturing&lt;br /&gt;
Location:  Ft. Pierce, FL&lt;br /&gt;
Contracts delivered on: $80,000&lt;br /&gt;
Contracts on hand: $150,000+&lt;br /&gt;
Contracts in negotiation: $500,000 to $1,000,000 and we have not even advertised yet!&lt;br /&gt;
Need: CNC Milling Machine and inventory; or capital to purchase and consolidate companies to meet this objective and deliver on contracts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More detail and business plan can be provided if there is an interested party.  The goal is to not give up half the company and repay the debt swiftly.  Are there lenders out there willing to look at a decent short term return investment anymore?  Please let me know any suggestions and any interested parties are welcome to contact me for additional information: Kevin@roperaero.com</description>

      <title>Private Lending in Real Estate</title>
      <link>http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/thread/5209</link>
      <description>&lt;p /&gt;

&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strength Management LLC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are your investments earning 12%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are seeking sophisticated lenders who want to earn more for their investment dollars.  If you have investments capital or IRA dollars that are not currently earning a 12% return, please call us.  We pay simple interest-only payments on your loan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A $25,000 loan would pay you $3,000 in interest over the next year.  That's $15,000 over a 5-year term, and you still have your $25,000 initial investment!  Just like a CD, we have a 5-year term for your protection.  There is no penalty for early withdrawal.  We pay you monthly or yearly.  It is your choice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compare that to your current investments.  With our loans you earn high interest, have no stock market fluctuation and no fees to pay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your loan is secured by a Mortgage on the property, a personally signed promissory note, and a homeowner's insurance policy.  You can drive over and look at where your money is loaned.  You are the bank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strength Management LLC is a for-profit Real Estate Investing company that invests in single family homes.  We have invested locally in the Macomb and surrounding areas.  We purchase homes in the 20, 30, and 40 thousand dollar range, rehab them and then sell them for a profit (lease option to buy).  We are looking for lenders that would like to loan in that range and earn a 12% return.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why not check us out?  It cost you nothing and there is no high-pressure sales pitch.  We are not Realtors, but private real estate investors.  We live in the Macomb area and all monies are loaned locally.  Contact today strengthllc@sbcglobal.net&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
