You have to understand that there are still investors and angel investors out there but you are going to have to go to them instead of them coming to you.

If you do some research online then you should be able to find some legitimate investors out there.  But be warned that when you have investors they will want a "piece" of your business so you may not own it 100%

I am having a hard time finding employment like a lot of other people are in the country. To get to my point I am 4 months sober from drinking and I am real focused in starting my own business which is one of the main reasons I stopped drinking. I'm writing in hopes to get help and information in achieving my goal. I have an awsome opportunity, for where I stay at in the country is small, large enough where there is a wal-mart super center and other major establishments and space to bring a lot more that are not here yet. This is my dilema!! I have done research to see the potential but don't have the funds to create this economic chance. To start this plan I need $2,000 to become and LLc in this state then find lenders or investors. My goal is to franchise in to company's that are already proven even in recession that this city needs, and to bring jobs that people need instead empowering companys that are letting people go. Any one who is interested can call me at 803-534-5047 I am a true American with vision and ready to live my american dream and to help my fellow man and woman in this critical time in America.     INVEST IN OUR OWN COUNTRY AND BUILD!!!!!  MY NAME IS DAMON AND MY NICKNAME  IS SHA-BOOGIE THANK YOU!!!!

I hope this doesn't get deleted.  This is a last ditch effort.  My family is in need of some help.  My lights are going to be cut off by 10am tomorrow.  I live in Orangeburg  South Carolina, and I have "prepaid" lights with Tri-County Electric Coop.  I know it sounds odd buts its true.  As of right now I am -$10.00 and by tomorrow it will probably be more like -$17.  I do not like asking for help but now I have no choice.  My husband and I have been out of work for a year now.  We have managed to do side jobs to get the bills paid.  My husband just started doing workshop at Vocational Rehabilitation.  But he will not get paid until next Friday.  We have a 5 month old daughter and we can't let our lights get cut off.  I have tried everything I can think of.  We have already sold just about everything we own and we have nothing left.  We don't have family that can help because they are all struggling as well.  My husband is a jack of all trades so to say if there is someone out there that needs something done we will do it.  I’m pretty much begging I guess.  I am all out of ideas.  My rent was due on the first and we are awaiting the eviction notice, my insurance was cancelled on the 25th of February, I have a title loan on my car that was due on the 7th of February.  All the money that we get goes straight to the light company.  I am not worried about everything else right now I just really need to keep the lights on.  Some would say just live without them, but I live in a trailer that needs ALOT of work and we don't have central heat just a little space heater and if it's not on it will get below 40 in my house.  We are next to being homeless but once my husband starts getting his check we will be ok.  Please don’t think badly of me for doing this I just don't have any other option.  If there is anyone out there who is willing to help us it will be greatly appreciated.  I am currently enrolled at the University of Phoenix online.  I do my homework at McDonald's where the Wi-Fi is free.  I am expecting my loan check to come in by the end of March beginning of April.  I can pay you back if need be then.  Please just help us to stay warm.  I will provide the information needed to call the light company if someone wants to help anonymously.  The account number is 10022101.  My name is Kristy McCutcheon they will probably ask for it.  You can call anytime 24/7 to make a payment over the phone.  The phone number is 1.877.874.1215.  Thanks in advance for helping and Thanks also for taking the time to read this.  Please don't think badly of me for this.  I really didn't want to have to do it.  You can contact me via email at kristy0110@msn.com. I would give my phone number but I really don't need the spam right now, I have way too much going on in my life.  God Bless You.

Thanks so much!!
