Hello everyone!

My wife and I are in the process of starting a day care. I would like to ask day care owners what kind of assitance you received for opening your day care. Are there grants available now? How difficult is it to obtain a start up loan from the SBA for a day care?

We found a great location and while the lease terms seem reasonable, I guess we are a little worried about how quick we can enroll kids to help cover the monthly expenses. Not to mention at some point payroll.

Having a business loan or assitance from a grant would provide the cushion needed to help the business survive through that first year.

Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!
