Need Cash? Talk to Sam

by Dina on July 23, 2010

Hey, thanks to everyone who came out to the NERC conference this Sunday.  What a friendly crowd and the information shared was phenomenal, if I do say so myself.

You know what it’s like when you return from business travel- there’s a ton to do.  So, today I’m sending you off to look at this small business loan program from Sam’s Club.  Yup, the home and office supplier.

Small Business Loans from Sam’s Club

If you’re a member of Sam’s Club and want to invest in your business, you’re in luck.  Sam’s Club partnered with the SBA and a lending firm to offer loans to startups and small businesses.  Isn’t that great?

What I especially love is that loan amount- $5-25K- is exactly the size loan that solopros like us need but often can’t get.  (Too small for a big bank; not big enough for a smaller bank).  You need to be a Sam’s Club member and you can actually apply online.  Very cool.

I’d take a minute to gather all the relevant info they might need- revenue numbers, credit card debt, family income- in advance, just to make things easier.  Hey, asking for a loan is still nerve-wrecking even if you’re doing it online.

Don’t wait to apply

This program is like manna from heaven for so many good reasons.

I’d love to see you go through the process of applying.  It can be a very enlightening process, especially if you don’t get the loan. It highlights places in your wedding business that need attention.  Not wonderful to hear, but so necessary if you’re serious about having a business not a hobby

And, if you get the cash, well woo hoo!  You have a chance to push your business to a new height if you invest the cash wisely. (Don’t know how to do that.  No worries!  I’ve got friends who can help you think about it)

Share your Success

Don’t keep me in suspense if you get a loan.  Do tell so we can all be inspired by you and your chutzpah!
