I am opening a VW parts retail store in Stanton CA. I have a business plan that I have been showing my vendors, and most of the vendors know me. I have three positive vendors, and one more to apply with. I am lacking a co-signer for the store and $5000.00 to get the ball rolling. Any ideas? My credit is poor and my family says they can not help. I know that this business will work because of many different factors. The most important ones are: existing business with another owner is choosing to move on who has had a business for 8 years in not a great location but has still been very successful, business I am creating will cater to the same customers in a better location with less overhead cost. I have a strong desire to succeed and I am very knowledgable in the field of selling VW automotive parts. Can anyone help? I believe I could payback within 2 years.

Sorry I can't help you with the funds, but when you get started I can help you with cheap VW transmission parts.

Check out our website at www.mpgauto.com

For the co-signer. Network in your community. I am sure there are tons of networking groups in your area. Attend their events and start talking to people - never know who you will find that is willing to help.


Financing - for such a small amount, use credit cards, micro-finance, or peer-to-peer social lending sites (all can be found searching the web).

Best of luck
