[pianotech] pay as you go

[Ken & Pat Gerler]

Have you ever heard of "Small Business Loans".  In our "service" business, "hopefully", you do not need a lot of "capital" to get started.  Maybe a couple of thousand if you are wanting to do extensive shop work. But for just tuning and minor repair, you should be able to start with under $1,000.00 dollars.  And if you start by tuning pianos at a dealer, a minimum "kit" should be under $500.00.

        I hope you are NOT saying that borrowing money is the way to start a business off right.

          Lack of finances becomes a chronic disease.  Let him borrow it from somewhere else.  If he wants to start a business then start it off right. For instance, we have many associate (and RPT) members in our chapter who have never been to a convention after 20 years, because they are waiting to be able to afford it.

            Hello,
            Do any other chapters offer a “pay as you go” to new members who are financially unstable but show a lot of interest and motivation?
