I've been trying to run a photo business for the past few months but word of mouth is proving to not be enough. I really would like to have a budget for advertising and website hosting. Are there any banks that will give a new business a loan of line of credit when income (<$500) has been minimal?

I know this reply is late, but have you looked into Kabbage at all? They were acquired by AMEX last year. They do offer BLOC’s (up to $150k)as well as unsecured business loans. I received an offer through my AMEX account to setup an account with them about a week ago. Have submitted paperwork to verify business (IRS EIN letter, business license). Still waiting as they say 5-7 business days to review. Will post more when the process is complete.

They do offer 1.1% APY on checking accounts up to $150k as well as a $300 SUB with new accounts (5 Debit card transactions within 45 days). Not too shabby!
