Question: Can you please help me with any information regarding small business financing? I am trying to buy a franchise with a friend and my husband. We have a 4 year old bankruptcy and are looking for less than $75,000 to open. The problem is there are no tangible assets in the type of service business we are are planning to open. Are there any suggestions of lenders that may be willing to loan or a direction that we should go toward? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I am based in Michigan, USA. Thanks.
