To provide innovative products and make some money like the one I'm
involved in.

Garage shops do not count.

You have no clue Bill...

actually I do. Unlike you and a lot of others here I ran a business.
Without credit, we would have been out of business. To buy an $85k
delivery truck you need credit or deep pockets. Same went for the
rental equipment.

What you have no clue about is your presumption that the start-up I'm
involved in is a "garage shop" that lacks funding.

The start-ups I was involved in in the 90's started out with sweat
equity. The first round of funding was not enough to give everyone a fat
paycheck and the second round funding was used to hire other people who
were needed to operate the business. These other people got paid and the
founders were still putting in sweat and taking out no money.
