Well for the past couple months, Rebecca and I have been in the process of revamping our current business model and buying a new studio. I can tell you that we have been well educated in the daunting tasks of getting a substantial business loan for this project. With 98% of the process now completed and only the funding tasks to finish, I have been taught more things about business than I ever learned in College.

For anyone wanting to take on such a task, rebecca and I will be able to referr you on to the one person who made sense of the muck that goes into an SBA Loan and all the little things that go into the best business plan and other presentations that will cut the time and headaches in half! If anyone is interested in this info and referral, please feel free to contact me and I'll forward you our contact and send you on your merry way to business success.

I can't say enough how helpful and successful these people are!

Best wishes, James. I write business plans for a living, so I know how much work this is.
