Purpose of loan:
This loan will be used to payoff some outstanding debts and expand my product line. I am a small press publisher, specializing in reprinting vintage comic strips. It's a small niche market, but my sales have been growing, the quality of my product is excellent (nominated for an industry award for first publication). My problem is that I used a, shall we say, disreputable printer for my first couple of books and his high prices and lack of quality service almost did me in. I have pumped a lot of my own personal money into this business and though I do feel I could pull out of my small financial crisis through time, on my own, it would help a great deal if I could borrow $3000 to, as I said - help pay off some debt and to expand production line.

My financial situation:
I am a good candidate for this loan because I pay my bills. I've had some trouble in the past, but I have a job with a large textbook publisher which is solid, been there 13 years and will be there until I retire (or my company takes off).
