Myself and a friend of mine just started a small business back in June. We are a online retail clothing co with our own custom designs and name brand, something like Hurley or Affliction. We would like to expand our product line a bit, but don't have the funds necessary and wanted to know if there are small business grants or loans we can get. Only looking for $3000-$5000.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

Hi there.

We, my wife & I with our 6 kids, own a small discount ink & toner cartridge business here in Florida. We remanufacture most of the ink cartridges our selves. We have our LLC, Fed ID, resale cert, and have been in business 3 yrs. My wife is listed as 51% owner to help qualify for minority/womens business loans/grants etc. We currently run this on the weekends at a local indoor fleamarket and on Ebay & Amazon. Our sales will reach 100k this year.

We are interested in taking this business to the next level, our own retail location with our own website along with our Ebay & Amazon stores. However, in order to do this, we need capitol that we just don't have at this time. We have searched for funding, without using our personal SS#, but to no avail.

If you could provide us with more info, it would be greatly appreciated.
