It's time for me to upgrade.  I am currently trying to purchase a newer mobile grooming unit as the one I have now is a very old and well used unit.  I am hoping to switch from the van I have to a trailer.  Since we are now entering the winter months, I do not want to chance my van breaking down on me when I am on a job.

I have been very successful in my pet grooming business thus far and am ready to take it to the next level.  I have found a grooming trailer for sale for $10,500.  I have $1000 of my own money and my parents have agreed to give me $3,500 to put towards it.  It has a few more bells and whistles so I can be more efficient and provide add on services such as a spa bath and blueberry facials for the doggies.  In turn I can begin to charge a higher rate for my services as I become more specialized. 

I am currently still working my full time job as a proposal writer and have no intention of leaving it just yet.  I want to ensure my grooming business has a very solid foundation before I take the plunge into doing it full time.  I believe this trailer purchase will help me take my business to the next level.  The trailer looks much more professional and I can pull it with the SUV I currently own that runs like a champ so no worries for me breaking down!

I have posted a pic of the trailer so you can see what it looks like.  Also I have posted before and after pics of my grooming skills for your reference.

Rent $1000.00 (my roomate me she is moving out at the end of the month) :(

Credit Report Explanation:

My credit report shows many delinquencies.  I was divorced back in 2005 and my ex-husband and I incurred a significant amount of debt together.  Unfortunately, I got the responsibility for most of it after the divorce was finalized.  I could not afford to keep up with all the payments so I filed for bankruptcy in October of 2005.  Since then, I have worked very hard to rebuild my credit.  I am currently just on the cusp of a C rating with Prosper.  A few more points and I will be there.  My ulitmate goal is to have an AA rating, but I have learned to take things one day at a time.  This loan will continue to help me raise my score. 

My last loan with Prosper was used to buy the grooming van I am currently using.  I got what I could afford at the time and while it has worked out, it is very old and on its last leg.  I am hoping to take my business to the next level with purchasing this new grooming trailer!

Thank you for your consideration!
