My dream put me thousands in debt

May 29th, 2009

Starting a successful business is the dream of many.  Heck, it’s one of ours.  What could be better than doing what you love and making a living out of it?   That was my brother’s dream.   Brent’s dream was to set up a restaurant selling his secret recipe fried chicken.  Hence in August 2005, Brent’s Fabulous Chicken was born.  It seemed to be going well, he made $9,000 in the first weekend and his future was looking bright.  Less than 90 days later, everything came crashing down.  Creditors were pounding at his door demanding money for equipment, furnishings and contractor’s fees.  He owed thousands and numerous creditors wanted his head and his beloved restaurant was forced to close barely three months after it opened.  Since then Brent enrolled in credit card debt relief.  While his finances are straighten out my brother is shattered that he lost his restaurant.
