Description:
I seek $10K to invest in a photography business that would specialize in Portrait making and creating a personalized photographic session for clients. My work is usually outdoors and on location. I would like to invest the money in more equipment, and paying models for portfolio shoots as well as printing, lights and advertising. I think that I can start making about 2k per month doing this and likely start paying back investment within 3 months. The senior portrait, affordable children's photography and pet markets are ripe here. If I can find an investment of 20k I would also move into a place that I could use for indoor studio as well. My first goal however is the 10K investment. That would secure my current space and allow me to pay an assistant and expand who my client base is. There aran studio photographers in Alaska but very few that are willing to go on location without huge extra fees. I want to be able to provide that (URL removed)ch would allow elderly, disabled and even pet owners or parents of small children and limited means to have portraits taken at a reasonable price. This would also provide a free session to victims of domestic violence at the local shelters and be part of a program that provides access to beauty products for homeless women. Thank you. For reading. I have no good credit to report..I have very little in fact to offer other than my actual professional services. I need someone to take a chance on me. My debt in this world is under 10K and would not be affected by the investment. I don't ask this to pay off that. I ask this so I can build my business and pay it off myself. I am good at what I do. I am simply cash - poor and need an investment in my future.
And that of my business.
