I have a friend who lost her job with a Dell call center in Oregon & she is trying to find government or private people that provide funding to start a small business. She tried the Small Business Association, but they require adequate equity investment, evidence of ability to repay the loan from earrnings & reasonable amount of collateral. Also, they do NOT provide grants.
She has researched the business she wants to start, but she cannot meet the requirements of the SBA & she would prefer grant money. Like she told them, over half of ALL new businesses fail within the 1st 5 years due to lack of operating capital & they want me to pay THEM back instead of being able to put the money back into the business to see that it succeeds. ANY IDEAS from you folks????
Do you know of anyone who has gotten a business grant & from whom it came????
THANK YOU!!!!

when i apply for a loan it says..they want 2 years of credit history...how do the figure that out?
so if i have a store card...and i make payments for 2 straight months...having a 0 balance....then i don't use the card for months and months...is that only counted as 2 months worth of credit history?!?? or does it just depend on how many payments u make?!??

I keep hearing that data entry is the new big career to do from home, but I have a friend trying to find legitimate data entry work and she has yet to find anything legit...she just paid money to someone who advertised a job, but it ended up being a "you can do this to, just post and add and let people pay you to train them to do this..."
Thank goodness it was only $7, but she's upset about getting scammed.

She really wants legit work, but doesn't know where to look...obviously she won't be paying anyone to train her anymore, but where can she look for something that is not a scam...she found this "job" off of Craigslist....

I have been looking at some homes in my area that have been on the market for 4 or more months. They are older homes and need some work (updates bath,kitchen). I live in a area where the market is pretty stable. However, I am wondering should I put in an bid 10,000 below the asking offers of 129,900 and 125,900. I would think the sellers would be motivated to get off the homes. The homes are in very desireable areas of the city so I know that with a little elbow grease within a couple years I could see a good return. Do you think the method of looking at older homes that have been on the market longer is a good way to get a better deal as oppoesed to fighting for new listing or maybe there's a reason these homes are still there?

I manage a pub, im 24 and have an amazing team behind me. But recently hired this woman who now turns out to be a bit crazy. Its like she has a split personality. She also has a major problem taking direction from someone younger than her. When i ask her to do something she point blank refuses.

She has had verbal warnings and now a written one. The next step is to fire her but i've been told by several people that she can be violent so if i sack her who's to say she wont do something? She has already said to one of the staff that she LOVES this pub and one day will be the manager even if she has to "dispose" of me first... I would naturally have a witness present for the firing but what about after?

What is the best way to deal with this? Its obvious she has to leave but hows best to do it?

Please be advised that I am not attempting to pull off this scam, a friend was "taken" and wants to know if what transpired was illegal.

Basically she answered a data entry/application processor ad on Craigslist. The person contacted her back and asked her to pay a measly $7 to get started...this was the "training" fee. So my friend paid the $7 on paypal and received information on how to send out the same scam to other people...no data entry, just taking peoples money....
The problem is the ad was for a "Application Processor" which is what she would be doing (she's NOT), processing others applications for the same $7 fee...to train them to do the same thing....so the ad wasn't really lying.
So is this legal? Please give me legit advice, not just what you assume to be true or untrue. If you could provide legal information or websites that deal with this kind of scam that would be appreciated.

I know it's only $7, but she wants it back on principal!

Thanks

I am only in high school at this point but will be entering college soon. In high school I have taken many courses dealing with wildlife, animals, and biology.
The job I really want is to be a wildlife biologist or zoo keep/zoologist. But these careers don't have a high salary.

Or I could attempt vet school which is very competitive and would be a job I would only half like (I'm not into medical careers) but with a high income.

Alot of pressure from my parents. To be a vet.
Any advice? What would you choose?

I now have my own place, car and everything. Will I get more back, since I am filing "Independant", because I no longer live with or depend on my parents? Also, what exactly can you get a tax credit on (ie, being a full-time student, college books, gas, clothes for work, etc.....)? I'm really nervous about the possibility of having to pay taxes due to changing my status! Thanks!

I'm suffering from too much information. My husband and I want to start a 529 plan for our 10-year-old. We reside in Georgia but our income is too high for the tax break. So now we can choose any state. And we're going crazy looking at the choices. We've looked at Utah and at Iowa. We'd be putting in about $60,000 on day 1. Ideas to help us simplify our decision making? We're making this way too hard, I know! :)
