OT: Any Entrepreneurs in our midst

Well I will definitely have an LLC as well as a Foundation for my sister in 2010. I have a lot of my groundwork completed (i.e. business plan, board member commitments, business privilege and retail license forms, vendor arrangements etc... etc...) My goal is to have the start ups completed my March 2010.

I was just curious if there were any other current or aspiring Entrepreneurs out there? The reason I ask is that there are a lot of monies out there for MBE/WBE (Minority and Women owned business enterprises)....especially nonprofits. I am a Research Administrator for a Major Research University and A LOT of funding opportunities come across my desk targeted for MBE/WBE (right now I just shove to the side because I only work with faculty regarding their research). 

I figure its all about helping each other so if you could just send me your information on the BL. I will make a list and keep a look out for any opportunities in which you might be eligible.

The grant writing process is not as intimidating as it might seem and I might even be able to serve as a PAID  consultant if needed ~for a very special discounted BAF price of course~

          

This is very sweet and thoughtful. I will send you my info on the BL cause Lord knows I could use the help.

You are welcome! I will help out the best I can. It really is about us empowering ourselves. I figure I have too many networks to let them go to waste. I look forward to getting your info Talisha!

I hit you on the BL as well.  Thanks for the information,  especially in the this finanical turbulant time, any & all assistance is appreciated.

Just sent you a reply. Thanks Gigilani...please use the email I provided when responding. Thanks  

Can I pay you after?...lol

Seriously I am going to draft something up.

Thanks for doing this in advance

What does BLs stand for? Back line? I can't figure it out

@ Can I pay you after?...lol....

ummmmm...only if you sign this promissory note.

Send me a BL and tell me what you are drafting first ok.

I will hit you up on the BL too sweetie.  I know that my business is not eligible for grants of any kind and when I started my business, I was not interested in a loan, but that may be changing.  Thanks for the help!!

Thanks Brenda....just hit you back. Use the email.  

I do interior design and remixing for low income women....I love recycling things!!!
