A small business owner needs a very small loan ($5,000 or less) for initial startup costs including bulk inventory purchases, trademark/patent filing, storage, and packaging, but finds most loan discussions focus on much larger amounts.
Traditional banks and loan discussions typically focus on larger loan amounts (millions), making it difficult for micro-businesses and solo entrepreneurs to find appropriate small-scale financing options.
