Starting a Business with Bad Credit and No Money
Several entrepreneurs have thought of starting a business with bad credit. Usually, the hope is that they can push the enterprise to grow fast enough that they make a profit and are able to repair their credit. These individuals are quite determined and can often succeed at their goal.
In order to begin operations, they must get cash from some source. Usually, when someone has good credit, it is possible to obtain a loan from a bank for business purposes. Even then, entrepreneurs usually have to go through a lot to prove to the lenders that they will be able to generate a profit and repay the money.
In some countries, for example in Jamaica, there are specific organizations that are set up to help small and medium enterprises. They usually provide a small business start-up kit which provides you with information on setting up a commercial enterprise.
These make it easier to get loans from commercial banks and can provide the contacts businesspeople need when they want capital and sound advice. They can also provide mentorship to people who are entering the field of business for the first time.
The Jamaica National Building Society provides loans to small business persons. Whether you are a hairdresser, farmer or online entrepreneur, you can get the money you need to start your business and pay them back regularly, in installments that you can afford. This also helps you to build your credit.
Wherever you are in the world your small business association can provide you with information on bad credit loans. It is also possible to make use of peer to peer lending for this purpose. The KIVA loan network has been set up to make it easy for people to start micro businesses. Interested persons may have poor or no credit so there is no reason why you cannot start your business. Remember that the plans of the diligent lead to profit.
