Hi everyone.
My name is Matthew Scott and I am a disabled veteran from the war in Iraq and am looking to start my own business. I am looking into purchasing a franchise that will guarantee clients in my local area. I have very little money in the bank and am in need of angel investors, capital investors, private investors, and commercial loans. The business has not been started and I have no sales figures. I do however have a great personal credit store and own my home. If you would be interested in helping me and my family out please contact me!

Financing for Business Startup, Welcome Matthew

I would like some additional info about the franchise, how soon you plan on starting etc.

Have you developed a Business and marketing Plan. I personally (and most investors) will not consider providing money to you or your business without a plan.

Do you know about SCORE?? SCORE is FREE.

Talk to me, LUCKIEST

Luckiest,

Thanks for the reply. The business plan and marketing plan are already developed by the franchise and simply put into place by my business. I plan on starting as soon as possible! I have not heard of SCORE but will check it out. The franchise is called FiltaFry and they use special equipment to recycle cooking oil and clean commercial fryers. All the resturants, schools, hospitals, etc. around here simply throw their oil out. I can provide a service that will save them money. Thanks again.
