Best way to rase money quickly.

So as previously mentioned I'm in the process of starting a business, however, I need to get about £850 of IT equipment, and I'd prefer to get it fast. Applying for grants and stuff seems to be taking forever.

I had tried to apply for the BOS 0%/9mth credit card, but as expected I was declined due to me being unemployed.

RBS have offered me a £200 extension to my interest free graduate account, and a student credit card with a £500 limit, however the card is at a high interest rate so I have put this option on the back burner for now.

Does anyone have any advice of how I can go from being unemployed to having £850 to spend? I have nothing worth anything to sell or it would be gone already.

I don't mind getting into debt, I'd just like to do it as cheaply as possible, and I know I may sound reckless but I really don't mind. I've been unemployed for two years and I'd rather have a punt at something than continue the fruitless job applications (though I am quite hopeful at one I have out right now).

Try looking on freecycle for something to tide you over until you can afford to buy new.

I have started my business from being on the dole and it isnt easy and my poor credit card has taken a bit of a battering (have transferred debt to a 0% card which I dont spend on).

Have a look in the sales as you might be able to pick up something cheaper.

Second freecycle, plenty of good stuff on there. What do you need for £850?
