have you tried any of the economically disadvantaged programs for women and minority business? Also when your contracts ended was that bridge burnt or are you able to secure more contracts now?

If you are struggling with cash flow you may want to look into invoice factoring, it can give you access to capital based on your projected invoices for the month. I wouldn’t recommend it for a long-term solution but it may give you some breathing room while you find that long term answer. Also I would ask if you have looked at operating costs, the restaurant industry has very low margins and operating cost contribute to a lot of the stress associated with the industry.

Hi Mary,

The first places I would look are your local SCORE and SBA. Here are some links:

Main SCORE page: http://www.score.org/
Main SBA page: http://www.sba.gov/
SBA Loans and Grants page: http://www.sba.gov/content/search-business-loans-grants-and-financing
