I'll consider giving you a loan. What is your current...
- asset value
- level of debt
- equity
You don't have to be exact of course.

I kinda need a dollar value to see how probable it is for you to get a small business loan.

I do not mind that wealth is long-term. But one needs an income of some sort. I have been working for a month now, and got one paycheck, which covered my bank overdraft. I am applying to jobs daily. I guess that is my frustration. If I had a decent, steady income, life would be so much better. But, alas, such are the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

@OP
I'm in Croatia bitch. Haha just had to say it.
Anyway, I was at a start up conference today, a huge amount of potential investors and a huge amount of people with ideas, everyone talking with everyone.
In the end people with good ideas get the money and support from investors to make sure the project is a success, and then share the profit...
You should look for such events in your area.
Also, I'm now living and staying in Croatia, I might suggest your business idea next month when it's time for "Startup wednesday" just to see if serious investors find it profitable and interesting...

Also the failure rate for restaurants is something like 60% - no investor would touch the idea unless it had some sort of celebrity associated with it or enough gimmick value to make a quick return before the place shut down.Anonymous H replied with this 15 years ago, 4 minutes later, 1 hour after the original post[^] [v] #23,962

It's actually 95%, but it could thrive if it's in the right location.

@23,962 (H)
I thought that was a little exaggerated, though? Even so, 60% alone is risky.
@23,964 (TheSheep !kJ.A4PF7.k)
That would only work with a head chef who is well known throughout the industry. You can't just declare yourself to be exclusive - there has to be a reason.
@23,966 (The Continental !!+bfOgzYS+)
Most restaurants are formed with existing cash, friends/family or bank loans. 9/10 investors won't touch restaurants because they're too risky.
LOL EDIT
The average restaurant takes 18 months to become profitable with start-up costs averaging > $300k.

Ever walk into a random restaurant and see a sign that says "under new management"? That means that the previous owner went bankrupt and that somebody else scooped up the business.
