Purpose of Loan

A friend, who used to be one of my employees, has a small, successful LLC.
We've talked for years about starting our own LLC on the side as something
that might grow and provide us with a way to use our talents to have fun
and invest in our futures.  He has always talked about how great the Mac OS X
platform is, and recently I was given the MacBook Pro laptop at work.  I
now see that it is a great platform, and I am applying for a loan to take
on this opportunity in hopefully the best way possible.  These funds will
be used to buy a MacBook Pro and Adobe Web Premium for web development.  I
am interested in web based development as well as building native
applications using Xcode.

Financial Situation

I have worked at a well known, large public university for 10 years.  I
have been steadily promoted during my tenure:

  • UNIX System Administrator
  • Senior Software Specialist (support and development)
  • Manager of Software Support (managing the above group)
  • Research Programmer
  •      Took some time to work for a researcher full time.
  •      Not technically a position, but something never done before.
  • Manager of Systems (Windows and UNIX systems administration group)

I've done a lot of systems administration and software development on
the web and desktop.  I'm looking to expand that on the side as I already
spend most free time on computing technology.  My monthly budget
details follow:

Monthly Net Income:  $3,873.74

Monthly Expenses:

Rent:                         $500
Utility Bills:                $200
Car Payment:           $534.46
Cell Phone:               $86
Gas (travel):              $400
Stafford Loan:           $96
Car Insurance:          $70
Credit Cards:            $100
Food:                         $400
Home Equity Loan:   $300
Property Tax Loan:   $113.29
Dell Laptop:               $100

Total Monthly Expenses: $2,899.75

Net Left for Expenses: $973.99

Notes:  I took a home equity loan on a shared property to give my parents
money to finish working on their home.  The payment reflected is enough
to pay it off with projected APR increases, etc.  I also took a small
personal loan to pay their property taxes about 6 months ago as they were
a year overdue.  The Dell laptop is close to being paid off, and the credit
card expense is in case I use them.  My credit cards will be paid off soon,
and I want to avoid putting debt on them, which shouldn't be necessary given
the amount of money I have left after expenses.  This loan is to avoid that
as well.

Thanks for your consideration!
