Try your bank as first port of call. Failing that your into savings. All lending is tight at the moment and I know that very few lenders will lend without security. Is your shop freehold? If it is you could try a commercial mortgage company.

I tried my bank, even tried an overdraft but my representative said that they cant give me any help till 3-6 months because of the beauty industry is not reliable and because of the credid crunch.

in that case your down to your savings. Lending is really hard to come by at the moment. Keep rewriting and updating your original business plan to predict the points when you are gonna hit a cash flow crisis so that you are better prepared. Most salons fail because of cash flow problems, not lack of work.Now that you have been open a few months you have a clearer picture of when the bills will be due.

Hi, I am based in the south east so I only know what is available here, but you may find the equivilent for your area. nwes.org supports women in business as do enterprising women. Down here we have the suffolk regeneration trust...you may be able to find this for your area. As mentioned above the princes trust are funding my business start up. They also have a fantastic connection to all other agencys in your area...not sure if you already know but...you may be entitaled to small business discount on your business rates. Good luck...
