Hi guys, i have a business plan for a telecommunications business and i need funding between 100k to 450k, i went to NYDA but they wanted surety, i’m young where do they think i’ll get surety. The business is well researched and has a 900k potential turnover.pls help 0734364216
Webster find a way of dropping your expenses to an absolute minimum, 80K if possible, then allow about two months of funds raising from selling ama kip-kip at the taxi rank to washing motorist windscreens at intersections. So be ipansula and raise 20k on your own, if done, no investor will turn you down for just 60k investment to a potential 900k turnover business…how badly do you want this?
