Description: My company, Christian Communications Group, LLC, is looking for $10k - $25k in small business funding in order to grow our multi-media business startup (print, web, social networking, and any other medium that is necessary in keeping up with the most modern technology). Christian Communications Group, LLC is located in Weaver, AL and has gross sales of $250k or Less. We will be providing the largest compilation of savings, services, and resources in Calhoun County, AL, with high quality, low cost advertising. We are starting in Calhoun County with plans to expand throughout the entire state of Alabama. We have already started our website, social networking pages, and our first publication, which is set to print in June. However, we have used all of our savings to startup this business. We'll barely be breaking even this month with our costs of incorporating, joining business associations, marketing, supplies, commission payments for our sales employees, website domain names, website hosting, and our printing costs. We've already had a great response, but we could really use some money for business growth. This would be used for: printing costs, more employees (graphic designers, web designers, regional and local sales people, admin, accounting, etc… At present, my husband and I do most of the work, other than a few part time sales people. I majored in Graphics/Fine Arts with a minor in Marketing and my husband has been in sales for more than 15 years. My husband has a full time job working in advertising sales right now. He gets paid on straight commission. He works in the trucking/recruiting industry, which is down by 75%. So, he is going to have to quit or work part time in order for us to make ends meet. We've already made more money with our small business than he is making at his full time job. We could make so much more income if he could work on our business full time. He is very good at what he does.
