Joel,

Jessica mentioned that she thought I may be able to provide some help to your users and eventually become a trusted resource. I would like nothing more than that, so any advice that you have about how to go about replying to questions that I can help with and not sound like a sales pitch would be appreciated. I`ve tried to be clear about my intentions in my profile and posts. If it`s overkill, I`d like to know that too.

Thanks for the help,

Nick

hello,the business that i am going to be asking about is for my fiance. he has begun to start a business with a group of men but,it did ont work out with them so he is on his own now.he has put so much time and money into this that he can not pull out.so my question to anyone is.where can he get help in funding for this business.need help     

Niecy:

While I certainly feel for the pain of your fiance`s situation, there isn`t enough information in your post for me to offer any viable solution. The phrase "put so much time and money into it - he can`t pull out" should be supported by a current feasibility analysis.

The next question would be - how much funding is needed?
