ForumsFinancing Tips

Hello out there. My name is Aden, and I have come to notice that the reply posts to this site seem to offer a lot of help, so without further a do, here is my situation. I am 19 years old. My friend and I have come up with a brilliant business idea. It's targeted audience are people in the age range of 18-late 20's, especially college kids. There is only one other business that offers our service, and it is 20+ miles away from our university. We have a town center 2 miles away from our university, and that is where we want to place our business. It generates amazing traffic, especially on weekends. It's the perfect location with no competition. We've seen the space that we want to rent out and it requires little upgrade. The only problem... we don't have any start-up funds. We need about 35-45k to make sure we do this the right way and not waste the opportunity. Being that we're young, no one is taking us seriously. Family does not want to invest, but they are helping us put together a business plan using their connections since we didn't know how to make it on our own. I don't see how a bank would be willing to lend out that kind of money to two 19 year olds. It just doesn't seem realistic. So really, I'm looking for advice/help from anyone out there that is willing to offer.
