ok, I am in college and plan on starting my own restaurant. I don't mean a little small thing, I mean a fancy big one. I don't have much money though. I just bought a new car and will paying for it for the next four and a half years. Also a four-wheeler. I did all this before I realized what I want to do. I know the American Business Association will help with some of the money, but does anyone know how much? Is it a certain percentage or a certain doolar amount? Thanks for the help.

Check out the SBA's financing site: http://sba.gov/financing/index.html. The amount of their financing depends on various factors.

I am not familiar with the American Business Association so I cannot help you there.

The only reality show I have watched is the Restaurant show. I was sorry to see it end. Owning a restaurant seems like a massive amount of work. Best of luck to you!

It's good that you know what you want to do. And, as already stated, the amount that is funded will depend on many things. One thing is for sure, you will need a good business plan to communicate your vision.
