I am a small business out of Santa Clara in the raingutter field, L & L Gutter Service. Established in 1982. Financially the company did great and increased volume every year until this crunch hit us about three years ago. The bankroll that was accumlated slowly was depleated during the last three years until now I have very little money left. I have exhausted almost everything to keep the doors open. I have creditors calling me for some sort of payments. I owe less than $20,000, and none are to the point of serious. I get a sick feeling knowing that every ounce of blood sweat and tears invested could come to a halt. On the positive side, I have a lot of jobs coming up in the next few months to the tune of over $30,000. My problem is the time period between now and then. I see all these ads on TV where the federal people are willing to help out the small businesses like me. I request help on where to turn.
