How do I start a business? I've been in the hotel business for 27 years and want to just buy my own

I found a good place for 350,000 in Nebraska. So first, I want to know if I would even be approved for a loan like that. Do I just enquire at my bank to see or what. Some suggest to get a business partner or investor or something. I want to do it on my own but have no clue on how to get everything ready and set up with phones/website ect..

How much capital of your own do you have, @swandfriends? I'm a semi-retired catering consultant, by the way.

Nothing. I have no savings, don't own anything but a 20 year old car.

@swandfriends Sorry to be blunt but you need a business partner with money. Nobody will lend you enough to purchase the property, let alone buy opening stock, pay wages etc.
