Lesson learned...If it happens, getting a job after owning a small business is insanely difficult

After 15 years I had some medical problems, lost my business, all my contacts, and had to move. Let's just say it's very challenging trying to apply for jobs without a past job title and no references. It almost feels like the business never existed. Do you know what would have helped? A LinkedIn account. For several reasons, I can't believe I never made a LinkedIn account. Anyway, what's done is done and that's the lesson learned.

Best phone system for a small business

We are looking to set up a phone system that allows three people to be on the line at the same time with two separate calls. We were originally going through VOIP and 3CX, but it is no longer working for our needs. What's the best way to get something like this set up, where customers, vendors, government agents, etc. can all call the same number, have a little menu of pressing either 1, 2, or 3 depending on who they need to get ahold of, and then that person's phone ringing?

Advice for getting a startup loan?

Long story short, I would like to purchase a Tesla for my Turo business, of which being actually under an LLC to build legit business credit. My current cars are under me personally but for various reasons the ideal situation is for them all to be under LLC (which cannot be done until paid off). I need about $40k to fund this, and want to know any recommendations for ways of securing this, from SBA loans so on and so forth. Being that it's for a car, it can essentially act as collateral; furthermore as I'm only borrowing 40k and the price of Teslas has since gone up about 5k from when I locked in my price, the full amount of the loan is essentially still in the car. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hey guys, So I'm starting my company soon, and was wondering if you have any advice in competing or co-existing with a Giant manufacturer. So basicly they are selling at a greater profit margin, this is the whole case in this industry, and as i see it I'm able to slip in a gap and make cheaper product that's as good as theirs. Any advice on this? Thank you for your answears

Anybody had any success with applying with 7a loan 25k working capital loan specifically?

I was denied for the eidl loan, and I’m pretty sure not being able to get the EIDL loan its going to be even harder to get any other working capital loans from the SBA. I have a fair credit score(674), a lot of debt racked up during the pandemic. But Has anybody had a streamlined process with applying for sba 7a loans, that aren’t so stressful as the EIDL process, or can you recommend any loan sources that you can apply with for one? Seems like the only available now are Merchant cash advances which I’m determined to stay away from predatory lending. Any advice would help but I’ve prolly got 2-3 months left in business before i close doors for good.

Lead generation through email

I am looking at touching base with all the small business in my community that may be able to use my services. I am thinking of pitching my services through an email and forward the email to these said people. We have sustained our business off reputation and word of mouth, however we are not growing as fast as we would like off of that alone. So I have a been thinking ways to land new work. What are you opinions on this approach? Thanks!
