Folks,
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CLARIFICATION FOR WITHDRAWAL OF MY LAST LISTING:When I posted my original listing (the one with drew) I put my annual gross salary to be $151,000.00, which included my year end bonus and other incentives. Only my year end pay stubs will show  the above amount as my total compensation. Where as my current salary only reflects $102,861.00 as per the current pay stubs, so when I realized this problem prior to funding I called PROSPER.COM and explained my situation in detail. They not only understood my situation and applauded my honesty and integrity and suggested me to repost my listing with new salary, which will have slightly increased DTI. I'm pretty sure you folks understand my honesty and candidness. THIS IS THE TRUTH, I DO HAVE THE REFERENCE NUMBER FOR THE CALL WITH PROSPER. AGAIN, MY SINCERE APOLOGIES FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.

Purpose of loan:

This loan will be used to start a small biology lab to conduct Histology (Tissue Anatomy) testing. I?m a scientist and I?m in this field for the past 16 years and very comfortable in starting my own company.  My lab will predominantly focus on testing for skin (tissue) biopsies for skin, breast, prostate, and colon cancer. Industry is vast given the startup nature of my company and to have better focus I have picked the above areas to create a niche and succeed. I will also be providing consultancy services to the biological companies in terms of their tissue testing needs, which will generate additional income apart from the testing. It will be easy for me to get the business going because of my long relationship with the industry and contacts. The whole project is budgeted to cost $125,000 most of the money is coming from my savings and my spouse is helping me a bit.  I still need some more funds to put towards the start up cost, hence this loan request.

My financial situation:

I am a good candidate for this loan because I?ve over 16 years of experience in the industry. I already have numerous requests from my current contacts to perform some consulting and testing work ? this is one of the reasons I want to start this company.  I?m 100% confident of making this work. More than all I?m a good candidate, also because I?ve an excellent multiple year track record of paying my debt on time and stay low the credit. Any questions, please email me via Prosper.com  

I'm also posting the Q&A from my original listing:

Q: Will your consulting business be an intricate part of the testing lab or will this remain a side business? Whom will be operating this lab while your performing consulting business? -baudeagle
A: Yes, it will be. Actually the consulting is an integral part of this business as clients looks for the testing company to help them in terms of assessing their testing reqiurements/strategy. Also the clients are basically outsourcing their testing needs to us in other words we need re-organize their in-house testing dept. to cope with the outsourcing. I'll be operating the lab and consult as it is part of the work. Also, I'll be hiring few people with similar background to support operations. (Aug-06-2008)

Q: Will you continue at your current job? If not, what, if anything, will be your source of income until the business is profitable? -lendinglinguist
A: Once I start the company I'll convert my full time into part time, which my compay will allow given my long service with the company. As the business picks up from my start up I'll scale back role at my current company and focus full time on the start up. Also my spouse makes good source of income to support during this period.
