ForumsFinancing Tips

I opened my business July 5, 2008, I am looking for information on how to obtain a small business loan or grants. I have a business plan and will I be expanding my business late 2009. I have been doing well since I open my beauty supply store but I need some more money for more inventory. The business that I am in is dominated by the Koreans. The african american community has welcome me with open arms, but I have one down size, I have to be able to complete with them and I need to know where I can obtain funding for larger inventory. I have okay credit, never been late on any payments but I maxed out my credit cards opening this business which dropped my credit score. Can any one help.
