Re: [Mpls] MCDA small business loans - How do I get one?

This reply is so off the mark. Just check into the reality of who receives these funds before you mock them. I understand that they are not your neighborhood businesses in North Oaks, but many receipients are vibrant, successful,for-profit businesses run by solid business people who are valued by many residents of Minneapolis for the services/goods that they provide.

I probably don't qualify, because.....

I have no experience at losing money.
I have excellent credit.
I have never defaulted on a commitment.
I create new, private sector jobs.
I actually pay taxes.
I have never run a non-profit organization.
I don't waste money.
My business idea is a winner.
I don't need anyone else's property - I already own it.

Despite these obstacles, I'll give it a try  - because it's always
preferable to use someone else's money when pretending to take a risk.

So here's the deal - I want to open a new shop called......
"Beauty Bar - Martinis and Makeovers"

I'll call the MCDA on Monday to see what I need to do to get this show on
the road. Stay tuned.
