Dear Nairalanders,

I don't know if this is the right thing to do or the right way to go about it.

I need advice, suggestions on how to raise about #400,000 to start up a business that have been a dream that is almost coming through but, is about to be taken away from me because of lack of funds.

Though I have made part payment of #110,000 for the shop rent but, I have been given till the end of next week to pay up the balance or risk loosing the shop to someone else.

This issue have been giving me sleepless nights, as there seems to be almost no hope of getting that amount to start my dream business.

Kindly advice/suggest to me what or how this load can be taken off my head as I am beginning to loose control of myself.

I am working, with a salary of 70k, the first child in a family of five. I am of age and needs to settle down too. I just need to get this done and start building my own family.

I am here because I know we have people with sound minds and good business ideas in this section of the forum.

I just want to do things the right way.

Thanking you all in advance...
