I am a Prosper.com veteran who paid off her first Prosper loan of $7,500 within 6 months with perfect payment history!!!  

I am a female entrepreneur with over 15 years of successful retail management and customer service experience .  For four years, I have owned and operated a very successful, growing and profitable indoor tanning salon!   I am devoted full time and 100% involved in the daily operation of my salon.  

My business is thriving!  Gross annual sales were $210,000 in 2007.  Through June 30, 2008, sales are up 20% over last year!   Customer count is up 28%!  I just renewed my lease for another five years.  And, my nearest competitor closed this year!    I have an ideal location near four major high schools in a very busy shopping center.  My salon generates over $75,000 per year in free cash flow!  I have Certified Public Accountant statements to substantiate my business.    

Purpose of Loan:  I would like to borrow again from Prosper.com in the amount of $15,000.  These funds would be used to upgrade two tanning beds for higher end units.  This upgrade will allow me to instantly generate higher price-point revenue and further add to my brand image.   I would also like to pay off a high interest credit card which was used to purchase the business.  

My Financial History:  For two years, my income was spent on a $4,000/month mortgage for my home which was on the market.  Finally, I have SOLD the house and have reduced my personal monthly expenses to only $2,151!   Given the success of my business and lower expenses, I am fully capable of paying off this loan within two years.   

You should feel very confident in bidding on me!  

I paid off my first Prosper loan within six months with perfect payment history.
   I will gladly answer any questions or provide any data you need to bid confidently!

My Financial Scenario:  My credit score is 679 which is an increase of 74 points since my first Prosper loan in October 2007.  I own my business free and clear and have operated it since October 2004.  The salon itself has been in existence since 1999 and has a client base of over 9400!
