[nabentre] Small Business Financing Options

Cheryl,

You need to learn how to read things a little better. If you read what I wrote, I am shocked to see that women owned businesses are still considered to be considered a minority, especially with all the powerful corporate executives that are women. Please do not purport to perceive me as a male chauvinist. Thanks..

Really I am insulted at that last statement, in fact,  women are still considered a minority especially in owning a business, and in getting contracts from the US Government, which many of you should look into on how to get into the bidding process, I did this a few years ago, and I am able to bid on contracts for travel. It does take time to do, but your local community colleges should have a location, if you live here on Long Island, the SBA is located at Stonybrook Universtiy; Hofstra University and the Grant Campus at Suffolk Community College. 

I know this for a fact, especially being a woman and disabled, they have to give x amount of contracts to woman and also businesses owned by those who are disabled.

Being that I am one of the Officers of the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce. I recommend that if you town and community you join your local chamber under a person of the community, you can do so, and the membership a year, normally isn't that much. 

They always have events at least once a month to network with and also people like the local Small Business Association and other business opportunities in your area.

What a male chauvinist thing to say.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

take a look at the Small Business Administration in your area. they always support and lend assistance to minority owned businesses. that women owned businesses can still be considered a minority is a joke, but try that.

Hello,

I'm looking for financing resources for small businesses. Does anyone know of any sources for low-interest loans for women and/or people with disabilities (blindness) who are starting a business? (We have excellent
credit.) Also, in case it makes a difference, I am in Southern California.

Thanks,

Sarah
