I'm hoping to take the state exam next month, and trying to plan my next steps (how soon to leave my full time job?). Since you are self employed as an agent, I'm thinking about applying for a small business loan.

Has anyone done anything like this?
I guess that the agent is not a business, so would that be a problem? But we are self employed.
Do you think that it's necessary to prepare a business plan?
My thought is that if I apply for a SB loan that would help to keep me afloat financially as I get started and after I leave my current job.

You've all been so helpful, thank you for putting up with all my questions, and help in calming my anxiety......

Thanks!! ZC, Tampa
