Hi, I'm Ruth from Michigan. There's a trade center (Gibraltar Trade Center) consit of several booths with small business, wich mine is a little card/toy shop wich is a busy place. Although I have probably only 400 sq ft. This place is always packed.. I have acess to the show area, so I have a nice size area yu-gi-oh, Magic, & other tournaments. The problem is the trade center's only open 3 days a week and they just raised their rent to $1200 a month. For about $800 more(everything included) I have found a building right next to a high school and elementry school, in a plaza perfect location!! I know every kid and customer by Name and all the regulars willing to do on their behalf whatever it takes to get this open. But the fear is the down payment, and the 3 year lease. I doubt I would qualify (I haven't got good credit) for a SBA loan and NEED between 5-$10,000. I NEED Good funraising ideas.How do legally raise money so kids can have a local card shop! They're counting on me. HELP
