| In 2007 my brother Jorge lost his job due to the cutbacks. When he received his taxes he decided to invest three grand on jumpers,tables,and chairs to rent them out. He started by having his stuff stored in the garage later he had ask me that if we became partners we could actually invest more and get bigger profit. He alone was making up to 500 a weekend. So I agreed and applied for a credit line of 18 grand. We kept our business at home and in just a few months we had enough customer's and profit to rent a lot for our party supplies store. We really never thought we would be able to expand that quick. |

NAICS: 445 Food and Beverage Stores Description: family owned local market |
| I decided to get into this business to pretty much make living and it has been my dream to have my own store in the US. I came to the US and opened up my store to financially support my family and here I am supporting my family. My goal is sustaining my business until I can retire. I do not have any desire to make my store any bigger than this as long as I can support my family and my daughters college tuition. If my daughters decides to go to a Med school or grad school I have to change my business plan and make a better goal but for now maintaining the business is my first priority. |

| Frankly speaking, I am really not a business type of person. It’s odd that I have been in business for 20 years. My husband brings me into business ventures and we had our ups and downs. My first business was in computer hardware. Computers were the trend back in mid 1980’s and 1990’s. In 2002 when the computer business market trend was diminishing, and after 911, security became a big issue so we switched from computer hardware to Digital Video Surveillance. Therefore, we’ve decided to change selling computers to selling digital video surveillance and CCTV camera’s. At first it was difficult, many dealers only know analog and it took a while for the market to pick up and accept the digital technology. |

NAICS: 237 Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction Description: constructs pool |
| At first I was a pool cleaner and i wondered to myself, What if i could build pools instead of cleaning them. At fist I thought to myself It would be hard to become the leader of a business and put the idea aside for a good two years. Eventual the idea came back in my head and I said to myself I will give it a shot. My initial goal when I made my company was to offer my clients the best service I could provide them. Eventually I met my goal and I have been in business ever since. |

NAICS: 424 Merchant Wholesalers, Nondurable Goods Description: Floral Decore, weddings, funerals & More |
| I first started off working at a flower shop about fourteen years ago, and I loved it. It became sort of a passion of mine. I worked there for a couple of years until I saved enough money to start up my own flower business. Since I had years of experience, I knew it would be a little more easy for me since I knew the ins and outs of the business. |
