You are now into an industry where you need to work, work, work and work. Really, Mortgage business are getting more harder day by day as the Interest rate are rising like anything.\nBasically mortgage business is a referal business but most of the Loan officers do not get refrences in the beginings. So they left demotivates.\nAccording to a survey 80% of the loans are closed by 20% of the Loan officers and the rest 20% of the Loans are closed by the other lest 80% loan officers.\nSo to get a good start there are thousands of ways all you need to be is hard working and of course smart worker.\nI can get you couple of ways where you can start closing loans in just a small span of time.\n1) Start mailing your flyers, this is one of the way you can use in the begining. Target around 3000 homes in your area and hire few kids to distribute some flyers there and let everyone know that you are a new LO in this area. Also you can mail these flyers and do remember to leave your Name and phone number here. This way can really help you but it takes alot of time, because you get a call back from just 1-2 out of 100 that you just to say HI and if they need something they will contact you.\n2) The Second and the best way you can use for the beginers. Buying leads- You can buy leads from good telemarketing companies who generate leads for different Loan officers. The biggest problem with this is they sell the same leads to several loan officers and when you call the customer they already got numerous calls from other companies. But there are some reliable companies who can provedi you quality leads and ofcouse these will be give to you and only you.\nSo find out some one who can get you virgin leads and you can start closing loans soon.\nGood Luck

Depending on the information contained in your work and credit history, many banks,credit card and finnancing companies will consider  special or non-traditional applications.\nThere are goverment agencies that can provide loan gaurantees for small business or education.\nYou can consider going to family and friends. If you can secure even a portion of the needed amount it may help you if and when you approach a lending institution.\nYou may also consider asking your employer.\nRemember that there are special government loan programs for person's with disabilities who wish to start a small business.\nFinally, professional associations, alumni associations, social service clubs are all potential loan sources for members.

Check out the SBA lending programs http://www.sba.gov/financing . SBA does not provide direct loans, but rather guarantees loans availed through their partner financial institutions. You will need to satisfy the lender's requirements for the loan, as assessed by the bank, before you can get SBA guarantee. This would mean showing the bank your credit history, business plan, tax forms, financial assets, collateral. \n\nNote however that you need to pass through 3 criteria before you can avail of SBA loans, and these are: \n\n- stake in the business (SBA requires borrower to have invested 25-50%)\n- submission of a strong business plan\n- good personal credit rating

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business (they perpetuate the myth so you will buy their books or pay for their grant application services - even if they know you won't qualify). \n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

First go to your local bank and talk to them about a loan from the small business administration.  The small business administration not only does loans for small businesses but has people to offer advice on how to run a small business and end up with a profit.  Go for it and good luck.

Never use your feminine wiles to get your way - people wont respect you if you do. \nAlways speak with confidence and look the person directly in the eye when talking to them\n\nIf you set up your own business, then I suggest you start off with an idea and basically work at it from there. It all depends on what you mean by businesswoman?

First, it depends on what type of loan you're looking for, but the general answer for that sort of amount is you won't get it unless you get a very good co-signer.\n\nTalk to a couple of different loan providers and ask them what their requirements are, that's the best way to go about it.
