Investment

As a general rule you will need at least $70,000 in cash or liquid assets, in addition to collateral to apply against the remainder of the loan. Although Uptown Cheapskate® does not provide in-house financing, we will refer you to one of our preferred lenders. 

Using our Uptown Biz Planner we will work with you to create pro-forma statements (Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet) for the bank, and estimate labor, rent, and operational costs for your market.
