Business Plans Hawaii, Valerie Koenig
It constantly shocks me how few business owners know that there is a SBA program that will finance up to 90% of the cost for a business to purchase land, property or major equipment. In fact, the program makes it easier for some business owners to buy a property than to lease one. You must still come up with 10% of the total financing package, and of course, good credit is mandatory. If your company is less than 2 years old, you must also provide a business plan.
