38STAIZ, LLC

 Good afternoon, my name is Judi and I have signed up with “ask for funding” to find financial assistance in launching my online department store. I am a veteran-working full-time; however, I have had a strong desire for approximately four years to start a online storefront. I have already registered my business name in California as LLC; also, I have an EIN and Shopify account with drop-shipping connection set up with AliExpress. What is holding me back from the launch is that I understand I am responsible for customer service support. Ideally, I need an automation system other than my cell phone and I need to set up my web-based advertising through funneling, Instagram, and Facebook advertising to bring in my customers. I feel I can appeal to a large population that is environmentally, conscious and seeking eco-friendly goods, the account I have set up with AliExpress is flexible in the sense that I do not have to limit just to clothing/apparel, I can also bring in other gift type items. Finally, I have solid employment for approximately four more months, but I can transfer to part-time work if I have the funding to help put myself on payroll immediately to work as the primary customer service support person. Your financial support in my endeavor would make this dream a reality. I have exhausted every potential lender outlet. There is an I have been declined due to lack of time and revenue in/through my business. I have tried through all SBA programs, private lenders that focus on start up, many of them with false advertisement that funding is guaranteed with the EIN. It is not guaranteed, they have criteria that need to be met including revenue.
