Well....I was going to finance SunSmoothie, but since you asked first, I'll fax you a check :)

Re: Finding that investor:

Thank you soooooo much!!!

I will use my first installment to take my family on a worldwide excursion, because after all, it's all about me. I will take the vacation that you were supposed to but didn't.

I know I could find someone to support my dreams. You do realize that this is a gift and not a loan, right? Can you make that in small denominations too. I want to hide the cash. Breaking $100.00 bills is tough these days especially while traveling as no one wants to get stuck.

Re: Finding that investor:

Any investor advice for someone that has industry experience running a salon, conducting training seminars, training salon staff for new salon openings, etc that doesn't have family with money to invest??

Re: Finding that investor:

Unless you find a very naive investor, it is extremely unlikely you will find any money to back you.

Banks won't even touch them unless you have a track record - and even then it is tough.

In addition, you certainly won't find anyone in Lexington that would bet on someone going up against STC. Another part of the country, maybe. But highly unlikely.

Best bet is to go back into a strong chain like STC, PBT, Darque Tan, etc and save enough money to open a franchise/licensee location, perhaps with some corporate backing.
