Poniatowski's Adventure in the Bank

So here it is: you go back and forth, running the idea in your head for the thousand time and sometimes against the odds of busting your ass for long days and even longer nights, you decide to open a bar. Our will be The Poniatowski Bar. 

Most of you have already read about the Crowd-Founding action and here comes the update!
We met with our Sparkasse Bank advisor who helps us to finalise application for the KFW credit - he found our concept convincing and became a new fan of Poniatowski, huhu! During the meeting it turned out that idea of leasing the kitchen most likely won't work since we are just a start-up company. But - no tears -  the Sparkasse bank can give us 'start-up" credit for the kitchen. The trick is...yes, you got it right- the credit sum increases. 
We were not exactly prepared for that since you know we planned to start up with 5.000 and not 10.000. We are finalising KFW application with the Sparkasse advisor on 30th of May and the credit decision will take some 3-4 weeks afterwards. Once there is "YES" (and c'mon, it has to be the 'yes'!) we must have additional 5.000 eur.

We are not going to lie - it is scary and we are working out ideas how to organise more money for the start of Poniatowski. Therefore you can still get vouchers however we know that the sum is probably quite large to cover it just with those -but the believe is there! Private loans are also an option or a benefit party for Poniatowski?

One thing is sure - we know you want this place to be open as much as we do and together get our polish bar running!
