		<description>Go to http://www.score.org/template_gallery.html and download the Excel template for estimating start up costs.

If you need money, you will need to apply for a loan.  No lender will talk to you unless you provide them with a valid business plan.  Go to http://www.sba.gov , http://www.score.org or http://www.bplan.com for sample business plans and instructions on how to write a business plan.

Then, go to http://www.score.org/ and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code.  On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter.  Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to review your business plan and discuss various loan options available to you.

SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

SCORE has 389 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories, with 10,500 volunteers nationwide. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate time and expertise as business counselors.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Save your money and don&#039;t. The other place is a dump because it costs in repairs way more than you will ever realize in profits.

Machines get not only used but very much abused as well. All you are going to accomplish is buying a job that you won&#039;t be able to quit. There are much better and way more lucrative businesses available these days with an investment under $5,000.00 dollars with several times higher return than any laundromat can ever bring in.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;30 years in direct sales marketing worldwide; owner of several businesses; entrepreneur; mentor;</description>
