Unless you have invoices to factor along with forthcoming contracts that are signed and work that can be related on it is in ones best interest to take rejection as a gift.

There are countless sub- prime financing companies with preditory lending practices thtat look and smell like an award winning BBQ whrn mere growing pains are expected and should be embraced.

This is what we like to call a revenue share. If I believe in the person, along with h the product and// or service while having the time to invest, I have been known to participate in the past. It's essential to understand this endeavor is a gamble and long term investment that may not make a single red cent. If this happens that is the calculation of risk we decided to take. If it doesn't work out as business plan suggest we can't have hard feelings later. It is high risk for a potenttial tich reward. That said as we are all well aware, most businesses fail in the first five years. Please proceed with extreme caution, at your own risk.

I have played this tape forward and in this arena would have to say thank you but no thank you I would not be willing to participate
