Hi Chris, If you need £5000 – £10,000 then i think you need to rethink your business idea because them days are long gone. Why not start off small and build the business up. There is a new scheme called enterprise allowace (ask your DEA about it) you might get £1000 soft loan

I am a disabled individual with a small business looking for funds to expand and tap into other opportunities. Are there any organizations willing to take a chance on me with the soft loan?

At minimum I need around 12,500 but would prefer $25,000 due to all the copyrights, trademarks and other fees involved with trying to organize information to do business with companies such as Nike, Inc.
