start with your local SBA or SCORE office if you have one. they usually have sponsors for small business loans.if you are looking for private investors you can try the local chamber of commerce. there are usually private investors on a small scale that frequent those offices and you can connect with them there. be careful with there private (individual) investors though. do your homework and ask around for their reputation before engaging in anything.you can also seek out angel investors or venture capitalists (through Google) in the area. but these guys are usually very specialized and are mostly in the high tech or some form of technology ventures.Nero makes a good point that your best bet will be asking your family and friends and convincing them to become your investors.
