Question

We are in the process of securing a lease for a used car dealership and need money for start up cost. Could you help in pointing me towards someone that could help? We have already tried a credit union and a bank.

Venture capitalists don't usually bother with an investment of less that $5 million, and I don't think you need near that much. But, you might want to find an angel investor ... this is usually an individual that might have $100,000 or so and trying to find a better interest rate than mutual funds. Search for Angel Investor in your area (google), or contact the local Small Business Development Center.
