1. Describe the problem:
I'm from Timmins (Ontario, Canada) and I want to open a small entertainment center for all ages with air jumping slides, a rubber room for jumping, and a sand pit. I have the vision and the enthusiasm, but I don't have the funds to open in time for winter — the most profitable season. I need more than just a loan; I need a complete solution: a step-by-step plan on how to do everything right and a way to secure funding without endless visits to banks and institutions.
2. How often does the problem occur?
The problem is constant. Every day that I don't move towards my goal, I lose the opportunity to capitalize on the winter season. This doesn't just apply to me — anyone who wants to open a seasonal small business faces this race against time.
3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?
I called several banks. That wasn't enough. Without a ready, well-developed plan and guarantees, I was politely refused. I'm blocked right at the starting line.
4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?
I am willing to pay an amount that is reasonable for a micro- or small business representative like me, if the problem is solved. I'm confident that if a service existed that handled the routine and helped with all the bureaucratic and financial questions at the start, thousands of others like me would pay for it.
5. Problem author:
The author of this problem is looking for a co-founder to create a solution.
