    Funds to Start New Business
    Hi my name is Zenetta Purvis and I am looking for free funding to start a plus size women clothing store, I am now aware after much research that the Federal Government does not fund a retail small business such as mine. So now what? Where do I go from here? This is a dream for me to own my own store but out of all the money in the world is there I'm sorry are there any organizations who will help me? And the amount needed is such a small amount, I am asking for $600.00 can you help?

    Ok, sorry what you are going to do with 600.00, if that is what you need, go work at a fast food place part time and save up the extra money,

    How much of your money are you putting intot he business of your own, There is seldom "free" money but loans that are gotten to open business up with, If you are a minority there are programs at times

    But if you wanted 60,000.00 but actually with a 600 dollar figure I get some warning bells going off.

    You could talk to the small business administration. They have some books on going into business. The $600 you think you need would not even cover the fees, for permits etc. Plus a landlord will want several months rent upfront etc. Go for your dream, but do your research first. If your not willing to put everything you own/have on the line, why would someone else? There is no thing as "free money", don't fall for some con artist that says he can get it for you. Talk to the Small Business Administration.
    Good Luck!
