You might try the Atlanta Technology Angels (although they do primarily tech deals), or go a bit further afield and talk to Ariel Savannah Angel Partners. Those are both bona fide groups of sophisticated angel investors that actively seek out and invest in plans. A short bit down the food chain is the Gathering of Angels, which is a periodic event that takes place in a number of cities, including Atlanta, at which four entrepreneurs pitch their plans to investors. The problem with this one is that they will charge you $2000 to present.\n\nIf you feel like simply casting your plan out on the waters, so to speak, you could give a try to "Funding Georgia", which is a web page front end where you can post your business plan and hope that some investor sees it (pretty unlikely, but they claim to have 28 investors in Georgia signed up, so who knows?)\n\nFinally, if you want to try farther afield, take a look at the directory of the Angel Capital Association, which lists virtually every legitimate angel investment group in the country. Good luck!

Maybe the Better Business Bureau would have one. Maybe research Worldcom or Enron.

do what every other biz does.  buy a lead list of people who invest in real estate outsside usa and start smiling and dialing.  but i will let you in on a known fact, people don't invest, unless you have something you can send them. and in that somthing you send them, make sure you are spelling it out a - z.  everything.  why they should put their money in asia. basically what are the returns.  whats the project, whos involved,  experience level, track record etc.  good luck.  leads cost about $1-15 per potential investor and find yourself a good lead broker or you will be wasting your time.

First, I hope you have a formal business plan on paper.  You can go to the SBA about a loan at http://www.sba.gov, or if you live in a fiar sized city, there may be a local sba. Traditional banks will consider loaning too, but they will expect you to pony up or raise a lot of the cash on your own.\n\nAs far as other to invest in your business, I think you may be looking for a venture capitalist or "angel."  A venture capital firm or angel investor can provide you with startup monies, but it is usually an investment, not a loan, which means they would own a portion of your business, be able to sell their part, and have their say in how you run it.  Have a look at http://www.vfinance.com/\n\nA third option would be a grant....if you are a woman or minority, these are fairly common....just search on Yahoo here for small business grant woman or small business grant <<<insert race here>>>.\n\nBest of luck!  My wife and I went through this a few years back, and it can be a real hassle, but work and persistence in searching for start up $$$ can creat great results!

Atlanta probably has a city website.  Do a search.  Sometimes County or State websites have links to attractions like that.  And/or, try the Atlanta chamber of commerce, if their is one -- it, too, may have links to connect to specifics.\n\n(remember government sites are ".gov" in addresses.)\n\nJust looked this up:  www.atlantaga.gov

Great question.\n\nAnalyst reports about an industry or a company are very valuable in deciding where to invest.\n\nProbably the best and easiest free report finder is Yahoo! (see link below)

You might try the local government in the city where you intend to start your business. Or, you could seek investors by advertising in the newspaper. Good luck.

You shouldn't have a problem finding a house to rent in the Atlanta area. Check out the suburbs of Roswell, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Woodstock, Canton, Kennesaw, etc. They are nice, diverse areas still close to the city. You will have to find an individual to rent from because most realty companies and rental companies are going to require a credit check on the spot. Just be nice and honest with the person you are renting from and make sure you have proof of income. That's usually the only thing they are really looking for, not a credit check. Save your pay stubs and that's really all you need to show them besides your ID. I rented a house in Atlanta and the only thing I showed the owner was a pretty smile! Just pick up the Atlanta Journal Constitution or go to ajc.com for the classifieds and you will find plenty! Good luck!
