Purpose of loan:
I have had my business since 1997 and have funded it completely on my own.  It has primarily been a part time business, but now I have recently expanded to the internet (www.carolinapersonalizedgifts.com).  However, in the process I have maxed out my credit cards.  I would love to get a loan to keep the website up and running as well as pay down the credit cards used for business purposes.  The website is getting better and all information and research I have done shows that it takes time, I am not a quitter.  I will also be holding money back for the first few loan payments and adding monthly to this fund so I will always have several months payments ready and available.

My financial situation:
I am a hard working family man who does whatever it takes (even working 2 jobs) to meet my responsibilities.  I have spent most of my life in public service (paramedic, deputy sheriff) until I was injured on the job.  I know I can repay this loan because I will be able to devote my personal income to my debts and the business will be in a position to take came of itself, plus with holding money back I will always have several months payments set aside.  All of my accounts are current with no late payments.

I think that there are 2 factors as to why my credit score is low, 1 is the credit cards (none have really high limits and I will be able to pay them off quickly with the help of this loan and also because I will not need to use them for business purposes).  The 2nd reason is some tax leins that I never owed and I was not aware of until 2005 (the leins were dated 1995).  I contacted the state, it was a different one than I live in now, and they put a zero balance as the amount owed.  Unfortunately they did not remove them.  Because I have paid all my debt but the credit cards and car loan I expect to be able to raise my credit score quickly.  Again I have no delinquent accounts or late payments.

My long range goal is to get this business on its own two feet, continue to work to become debt free and build a nice cushion for myself and my family.  I would also like to change my status on Prosper from borrower to lender so I can help people like I hope to be helped.

Thank you for your time.  I will be happy to answer any and all questions.
