It's somewhere between $150,000 and $250,000 I'll need, so not those little lenders I keep running into on Google.It's not for some new, risky business I'm hoping is a homerun, but for a long time, well-established franchise that has already been doing great for a number of years.The length of the loan doesn't matter too much to me, as I could throw large chunks toward this summer, and then probably be done with it by next summer, as my current business, which is massively passive, is very seasonal (Spring time).I won't say I'm desperate, but also with the shorter nature of the loan, and proven sales, as well as the success of my other business, I would even be willing to go for higher than normal rates.Anyway, thanks for any advice on lenders you might know of that deal in this area.
