"Only need $1000 - which would you recommend?"


          

I am in the process of starting a small home-based business, and I won't need a LOT of money to start - no more than $1000.

I think the only two options I have are:

1. Get a private bank loan
2. Use a credit card offer than I received, and ask for the credit limit to be $1000 so that I'm not tempted to go over that amount, then pay it off as quickly as possible.


I'm very new to this, so I need some advice.
Which way is the best?


Thanks.

Check out http://www.prosper.com - it is like ebay for loans. It is pretty awesome, even if you are interested in investing.

I don't know of any business that only needs $1k to start. What I suggest is that you contact your local SBA office and ask for a free meeting. Learn all you can about business and read the book the Emyth Revisited.
