I am about to purchase roughly $32k of furniture and televisions for a new restaurant/bar scheduled to open in 4 weeks.  The business will be paying a $12k down payment and I will be using the loan for the remainder.  I will hold a first lien on the equipment so if anything were to happen to the business, these assets would be sold to cover the loan.  We have a 1200 person party scheduled for the 29th of July and I am trying to free up some cash to be used in preperation for this large party.  We have a special events permit; however, staffing, fencing, extra inventory, etc. is getting quite costly.  We have successfully raised $150k in equity and plan to pay our investors back in less than six months.

A note about my credit and borrowing habits... Ever since college, when I realized my goals in life, I have taken my borrowing habits very seriously.  I plan to enter the commercial real estate arena as quickly as feasible, and in that field, credit is worth way more than cash.  I have always had a "pay it back at all costs" mentality when it comes to borrowing.  I can assure you that I do not plan to tarnish that record now and I will maintain my loan in good standing at all times.
