Default How can I startup a small business that requires about $20k if I don't have anything up front?

This small business is actually a Sno Biz operation that has strong potential in my area. I have the know-hows, drive, time, and means....it's just as simple as not having $20k just floatin' around at my immediate disposal for an asset. I've heard things like raising capital etc etc. but I guess I still am wondering the same question: How? Thanks to everyone and anyone that has some useful input. I really appreciate your time and feedback!

No lender or investor 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.
