    As long as your bills are within a manageable amount every month SFI will usually approve you.

    I will say this IF YOUR IN A BAD FINANCIAL SPOT AND HAVE NO SAVINGS OR AVAILABLE CREDIT OR CREDIT CARDS be very careful.

    It does not take long to get in a bind if you have a break down and have no money or credit.

    I'm broke down as I type but money or credit isn't my issue. It's I don't have my credit card on me it's at home and I have cash but can't rent a car with cash.

    Maybe I need to buy the w900 out front here for sale.

    welcome.......

    As to the question about credit........my understanding is that it's not so much about your credit score, per se, as it is about your current financial obligations.
    One guy could (theoretically) have a 700 credit score but obligations (car, house, child support.....whatnot) that make him undesirable.
    Whereas, another could have a really crappy score because he wen't bankrupt 2 or 3 years ago, yet currently has no financial obligations other than, say, rent, and he would be fine.
    I think it's more about what you owe now than what you've done in the past that matters the most.

    Yep, not about credit. If you ask me, it's about your business plan. Put together a good business plan that is reasonable, and obtainable and go for it.

    Do a one year and see how it goes and go from there. If you like it, you can keep on keeping on, if you don't walk away after a year.
