Hey Trent

This is not the loan you are looking for but if you don’t already know about it then you should look into the governments New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS), from memory if you become jobless and have a business idea that fits the criteria then you could be eligible for support for a year including weekly payments of around $250, 6 weeks business training and also access to other support services etc etc. Its worth a look I reckon.

NIES also gives you tax free trading for a year or 2.

I’ve also gone down this route but have been knocked back several times. The most recent attempt was denied because I had already attempted trading in that nature (even though it was original).
Your idea has to be completely original.
My ex started her fairy party business through NIES in the early 90’s (my ex was the very first professional fairy).

I’m absolutely insane.

The ones who are crazy enough to change the world will.

In July 2009 GoPro phoned my moblie telling me; “We are extremely interested in how you’re promoting your videos, shooting techniques and upload quality”, another associate phoned the same week “...they are watching what you’re doing closely, you should start using their product”. (I’ve often mentioned how bad the Australian distributer operated - they alone are responsible for my dislike of GoPro - they kept refusing to approve me as a GoPro dealer despite GoPro International requesting I do so).

GoPro were attempting to rival YouTube with their own video sharing - I utilized YouTube and the tagging feature and promoted GoPro in my tags. It reached a greater audience than GoPro’s own videos did. (YouTube was 3 years old at the time - GoPro had only just released their first camera that was dedicated to video).
GoPro often used my videos to promote their product despite not being shot on GoPro cameras.

Sept 2009 I was invited to Niseko. In Nov, Whistler;
To promote snow resorts through online video content.
In 2010 Sunpeaks and Revelstoke approached me.

In late 2009, the associate (I spoke of) was contracted to do marketing for GoPro, in mid 2010 he moved over to Drift.

Between 2009 & 2011 did you go to Niseko, Whistler, Sunpeaks or Revelstoke?

It a very depressing story as to why I didn’t.
A few members know why - not worth discussing in a public forum and not worth reigniting those emotions.

 

Yes, but it isn’t the common loan. It’s a payday loan, which is a short-term loan for extreme needs. Last year, my wife needed money because her business was sinking. Whatever tactics and strategies she came up with, there was still an acute need for material means. Her friend then offered to take a small amount with a low percentage of the loan. My wife turned to a trusted online company that grants loans even in cases where your credit status is zero. This is very convenient, while helping to cope with financial difficulties https://maybeloan.com/payday-loans/al these guys saved my wife’s business and now it brings good income. Here is what a payday loan is.

 

Thanks for sharing this much knowledge. This post taught us in a very good manner. I am really happy to read this.
