I would like to obtain a loan for financing more reliable equipment so that when jobs start coming in I am better prepared. I also need some guidance in how to pay employees as we start the business and how to do proper payroll once it is fully functional. I can use guidance for how to grow the business into a profitable company. And I can also use help figuring out bookkeeping and taxes and what online programs would be helpful. Also need help developing a website and online presence.
About my venture
realfather
Started 2019
I want to operate my own business that will keep me outdoors and I would like to pass on the business and skills one day to my children. I have purchased some equipment and am working on obtaining customers. I am picking up scrap and doing small moving jobs to earn quick money while main business is developing. My goal is to have it fully operational throughout the seasons. I want to create employment for people in my community that may have trouble obtaining jobs in the traditional way, ex:troubled teens, young adults on probation etc. Currently have 2 main employees working for me. Goal is 8 employees when fully operational
