Me and my friend just moved from Ukraine, left our businesses and homes there, we left everything and moved to US. Now we want to start a car rental business in California but I don’t know where to get funding, $50,000 at least. I already considered: Loans - it’s hard to get one without credit score and collateral, already got rejected from all the major banks and they ruined my credit history, because now I have 17 hard inquiries Business credit cards - already applied for all of them, got rejected CDFIs - they can give you a loan to start, but their requirements are either 3 months in business or any sources of income GoFundMe - I started a crowdfunding, but no luck so far, we got just one $100 donation… Government grants - I don’t have any idea how to get them, there are more than 1000 programs, they also want to see your business running What can you recommend to secure $50,000 to start? Are there any programs for startups or specifically for refugees?
If anyone wants to become our investor please contact me, we’ll discuss!
