Need a loan or a credit card for my business, Welcome

Thanks for sharing so much. A Credit Card seems easy to get. At most of the Airports, United has booths looking to give you a credit card. I get a new one every time I wait in Chicago for my flight.

Just moved to Las Vegas from Hawaii. We started a Travel Agency in
Hawaii and moved it here to Las Vegas with us.
We just started a pool
and spa cleaning business here in Las Vegas.
We are looking for ways to
grow both business.

Have you developed a Business and Marketing Plan that can help you grow.
Do you know about SCORE. SCORE is FREE and again can help you grow.

Good luck, LUCKIEST

Hi Pool - Your credit score does not seem terrible, so I wouldn't say its hopeless, especially for $5k. Try your local community bank. Without seeing your businesses financials, I can't say for sure that they'll approve you, but they be more willing to listen. If the bank route doesn't work out for you, perhaps you can consider a peer-to-peer lending network (like prosper.com), a home equity loan, or even friends/Family.

You mention you need the loan for working capital to grow your business. Can you elaborate?
