Where to look for small business loans as a newer company is the question I keep running into and most articles assume you've been operating 3+ years.

8 months in, decent monthly revenue around $18k, no missed payments, credit profile clean but light. Bank quoted me 2 years minimum operating history just to consider an application. SBA 7(a) wants similar plus tax returns I don't have yet.

Where are newer companies actually getting funded? Specifically interested in lenders with shorter time in business requirements. Need around $40k for inventory ahead of a busy season. Open to revenue based financing or anything that works on bank statements rather than tax returns. Anyone funded a sub 1 year business recently and what was the experience?

We are doing mid 8 figures on Shopify and inventory is starting to become one of the bigger bottlenecks.

We have multiple warehouse locations, one 3PL, some wholesale, light marketplace volume, and around 2k SKUs. Bundles and kits are where things get messy, especially when components are shared across products or sitting in transfers.

For anyone using Fulfil with Shopify at this scale, how well does it handle multi location stock, bundles, purchase orders, routing, and 3PL visibility once volume gets high?

I was walking up Taylor with a friend last weekend, huffing and puffing, and this girl power-walked past us wearing a super sleek weighted vest and didn’t even look winded. Been thinking about it ever since lol.

I’m late 20s, live near Nob Hill, do a lot of walking + light jogging, and I’m trying to get stronger without committing to a full-on gym membership I won’t use. I started googling stuff and now my ads are feral - vests in u/X/Y shapes, “weighted vest for women” collections, all claiming they’re comfy and “discreet enough to wear to the grocery store.” Idk if that’s genius or ridiculous.

For anyone in SF who actually uses one: do you feel it helped with strength/conditioning, or is it just extra laundry and BO? Any shapes/weights that work better for smaller torsos? Also curious if you wear it under a jacket in public or if that’s just asking to be stared at on Muni.

Basically: worth buying, or should I just keep suffering up the hill in peace?

Trying to move more student assignments and worksheets online next semester. Looking for something easy for converting and organizing PDFs without a huge learning curve. What’s worked best for you?

Hi everyone,

I post on my page pretty consistently and actually put real effort into what I'm making, but my follower count just won't budge. A few posts pick up some likes here and there, but my followers stay the exact same no matter what I try. Been thinking about trying to buy 1000 Instagram followers just so my profile looks a bit more established, but honestly I have no clue how any of this works or where I'm even supposed to start.

The thing holding me back is I don't really know which sites are actually safe and which ones are gonna mess my account up. Just want to find somewhere I can actually trust before I drop money on buying 1k Instagram followers.

Also not sure if this even helps in the long run or if it's just a temporary number that doesn't really do anything for my page. Like does having more followers actually convince real people to follow you too, or does that not really matter? Genuinely no idea. I just want to buy followers and see if it makes any kind of difference without putting my account at risk.

If anyone's actually done this before, would love to know if there's a safe site that worked for you. Any tips or personal experiences with this would really help.
