What Makes Our Business Startup Course Different?
First of all, we help you avoid the frustration of finding a lender that will work with new business owners. Most lenders require businesses to be in business for a minimum of two years with strong financial performance before being eligible for a loan. Obviously, this is a sticking point for new business owners.
Because of our industry experience, we know which lenders are startup-friendly. Our program was specifically designed to help groomers obtain startup loans ranging from $5,000 to $350,000 from startup-friendly lenders. Additionally, we will tell you exactly how to tailor your loan application package to fit their requirements.
For just $199, our online course provides you with a comprehensive business plan in just four weeks.
In just four weeks, you will:
(1) Connect with a Startup-Friendly Lender
(2) Create a Tailored Business Plan
(3) Complete and Submit the Loan Application
(4) Launch Your Business
