$500 Small investment for starting company

**Fbgsouth** · 07-13-2010 11:31 AM

Hello to all those interested!

My name is John Missihoun and I am currently a college student who wants to create a Tshirt company. The reason why I am asking for this small amount is for my first bulk order. I already have several people interested in buying the Tees that I am selling. Therefore profit will be made. I will be able to pay this amount back within 3-4 months of receiving the investment or 25% within 1 month.

As for those who are really interested in further propositions. I am also looking for partners who are good with advertisement designing and also funding.

this is the gallery of some of the merchandise I have made with my own money:

I yi yi.. another one... go here Personal Loans and Online Investing - Peer to Peer Lending - Prosper to get the money you need. Please do not go looking for an investor for $500! If you can't come up with $500 then you are way to risky of an investment. Someone who really wanted to start a business would go work for a month at any crappy job and then save $500. Please keep that in mind.

I have been trying to save up unfortunately with school my parents dont want me working so i've been selling a few of the things i have to come up with the money.
I am asking for a low amount to build up trust eventually I will be asking for more as the company grows

That's not how it works... go to prosper.com and apply for a loan there... you'll get high interest but you should be able to get the money. Are you over 18?

Ehh i don't think a loan is a good way to go about this either.
There's not much you can even do with $500. I've dumped a few thousands dollars into ideas before and they have yet to return much of anything.

My advice.. if you can't come up with $500; graduate college and get a job before trying to start a business. You don't want to start off on the wrong foot. I made $500 within the past 2 weeks by selling off some of my domains and selling some of my old unused books. It shouldn't be that difficult to come up with that kind of money.

This is much better advice... but when I tell people this is starts an entirely different argument/discussion. If they need the money then prosper is the place to go. I'm saying this without giving any regard to whether or not they have a decent idea. That will be for the investors on prosper to decide.
