I’m thinking about taking out a business loan to start a web-based business – software programming. The money would be spent to buy the IDE (Visual Studio 2005), server space, templates, and advertisement. Is this possible? Has anyone ever taken out a business loan for a website business?
I would not recommend paying for online advertising. The best results are from organic SEO. If you don’t know anything about Search Engine Optimization, and you’re going to start a web-based business, you need to come up to speed fast. There are some good books about it, and you can also look into http://www.searchenginewatch.com
I have never heard of business loans for web-based business…Not at least officially…You will be lucky if u get one on this. But alternatively you can take it for putting up a software development center. But, you may try with Meridian Finance. My friend told me that he got an easy, hassle-free loan from them. I think they have a site meridianlendersonline.com. If you have further problem please contact me. I will get the detail from my friend.
Hope this helps.
Hey, a much better job at ad placement… you’ve clearly learned a lot since the more ham-handed attempt on display in thread http://piggington.com/easy_personal_loan. The conversational tone, easy back-and-forth of the phony forum messages… nice!
Now, to make sure your ad has fully impact: meridianlendersonline.com is DECEPTIVE in its use of this space for advertising, is NOT TO BE TRUSTED, and a person would have to be CRAZY to trust any of their financial information with such a company. Go away, “darren”, or “santiago”, or whatever phony name you’re currently using.
I would tend to think your still under the impression that businesses are started with "Borrowed" money…successful ones are not, dont look for any examples on Wall Street private equities markets and purchases, those are shell games and not designed to make money, just pump and dump stocks…..Fortune Magazine detests the idea of actually paying for anything with cash, so dont look there either. If your idea is a good one, plenty of cash is available from potential investors/owners.
If you serious about making a small business, then do it the way all successful businesses start out, with capital from equity owners, not loans from web based shylocks. If you dont want any partners, then finance the gig on your own with your own capital, ….what ? …you say you DONT have any capital yourself ?..Hmmm….I would stay employed then and start saving….."Savings"? Its an old concept from wayback….also known as "Pay as you go"….The Asians are really into it, and the USA used to be.
Starting a new business with loaned capital is like building a 4 story building on sand…..Its destined to fail soon…Hence: 95% of all small businesses fail within the first 2 years.
