You should look in to P2P lending sites like:
They are great options for people looking for small business loans who don't want to use traditional banks or lending institutions. They work by having individuals lend the money so they can make some passive income by being the lender to people like you, it's a win-win for everyone involved!
Thank you very much for this information, I hadn't even thought about using something like this.
I appreciate that you took the time to add links as well.
thanks a million
