Hey, I need startup capital in Atlanta. Have $10K, looking for $15K-$25K more, short term. Banks & SBA won't touch a $15-20K loan. Any help?

Looking startup capital for Crossfit Gym, Welcome.

Do you have an actual location?? Have you developed a Business and Marketing Plan
that I can see. How long will you need the funds for?? and How will you pay me back??

--I have several potential locations with lease negotiations currently being handled by my tenant rep.
--I do have a business and marketing plan, which is fairly similar and based on the biz plans of the other 17 Atlanta locations.
--The funds are for working capital, I have enough cash for the startup. Therefore the need is only for one year to purchase added equipment and other growth needs along the way.
--Payment arranged on a monthly schedule.

**I have a long relationship with a large bank and good credit, but the 11% interest was a little high. My USAA credit card is 7.75% and may be an option but I'm investigating other options first.
