I am planning on launching an e-commerce business. Myself, along with a couple of partners, have developed a pretty unique logo design (currently working on the trademark). We plan on putting the logo on various product types. The plan is to set up the logo design with a manufacturer/s. I understand that there will be upfront costs to setting up the "screen" with the manufacturer. Once an order is placed on the website, the order will be pushed to the manufacturer, they will produce it, and ship it to the customer.

I am a veteran and wish to start up my gemstone wholesale business. I have little to no capital to invest in the business myself, and my credit score is below 700, which disqualifies me from lenders. I have my mentor's shop to work out of while I get started. All I need funds for is to purchase the product. My only option at this point for funding is the use of a private money lender. I would require a total amount of $150,000. Any insight on where to go to find private money lenders?
