Is it difficult to get small business loans due to a lack of start-up capital and poor credit history??

You may actually be better off focusing your efforts on grants instead of loans if you are finding it that arduous to get small business loans if you have poor credit. Examine the various factors in your current situation and one of them may be the key to unlocking grant money for you, be it your age, ethnicity, gender or the type of small business you are opening. Barring that, you may have to seek out private investors, either convincing them to invest whole heartedly, or getting them to plant seed money, which can then be used to show interest within the company and improve your chances of a loan.
