Ask for a little, get nothing.

So I figure asking for a small amount of money ($40,000) will get you nowhere. "Who's this little girl asking for 40 grand?"

Ask for 7 million? "Look at this guy!"

Not just any asshole asks for cash like that, and that's looking like a pretty accurate amount of cash needed to get a business like Music Slice going for it's first year of operation. With a little more research and planning to make sure, it looks like good times all around.
