- No lender will talk to you unless you provide them with a valid business plan. Go to http://www.sba.gov , http://www.score.org or http://www.bplan.com for sample business plans and instructions on how to write a business plan. Then, go to http://www.score.org/ and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to review your business plan and discuss various loan options available to you. SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). SCORE has 389 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories, with 10,500 volunteers nationwide. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate time and expertise as business counselors.
- I, myself, do not honestly know but I do know where you can find people who will. I helped start a group for new and wanna-be drivers. We are over 300 members strong with many many "seasoned" drivers. We often get drivers who have experience behind them and want to venture out on their own. I'm sure they can help you with your question and probably give you some other ideas you may want to try incase one doesn't work. The group is FREE to join and if you should decide you don't like it you are always free to leave at any time with no hassle. What do you got to lose??? Get honest answers from real drivers...Come check us out. Where it asks for a comment just tell them that Susan sent you over to check out the group...Link to group below...Good Luck to you...
