You need a really well worked business plan first. How many employees are you going to have? What options are you going to leave available for your customers? What hours will you be open per day? What is your overhead cost going to be? There are tons of questions that investors are going to want to know. These are the same things that a bank is going to want to know. Once you have a consolidated business plan, and this plan has to contain some exact numbers, start contacting banks about small business loans. You might want to find a financial consultant who really knows all of the government grants and aids that would work for your situation as well, but really you need a lot of facts and official paperwork to look good to investors, banks, and especially if you want to get anything from the government, you better be ready to answer very specific questions.
