• What amount of cash liquidity do you have and feel comfortable investing?
• What are your long-term goals and objectives?

In some cases, you can be in business in as little as 4 weeks, and with others, as long as 2 years. Often, the main variables are:

1. The loan process
2. The availability of suitable real estate (for non-home-based businesses).
