Ask HN: Smart ways to look at fairly small ($15-30k) business investment?

Hey HN - Due to some obscure industry connections, I've come upon a very solid opportunity to acquire an extremely rare piece of unusual manufacturing equipment that's a step or two away from essentially printing money. I'm obviously not going to be super specific, but it's also not a piece of gear that a lot of other people know how to use; but I fortunately have a lot of education and experience in. That being said; I've personally never actually lent money of any kind before, much less for a business idea. Honestly - I'll be the first to admit I'm not knowledgable in that regard. I've assembled together a small business plan with manufacturing costs and profits, sources to back up the dire need for this particular product, etc; but I personally have little idea where to go next, and time is of the absolute and utmost essence. Where is the best place to turn for a fairly small business investment like this? Should I be looking for a personal investment? Should I be turning to a bank? Thanks for any and all advice, I'm hoping this community is a decent resource to get some good guidance.
