How do I find a debt equity backer?

I recently acquired a bankrupt company from a venture capital firm that invested over $7 million. I just purchased the major assets: websites, trademarks, branding, customer database (47,000 customers) and vendor lists.

It was a retail store making $8 million in sales in 2007. This store was to be chained into all 50 states but the capital group dumped it because of the economy. Now I am looking at major investment dollars to reestablish entry.

How do I find a debt equity backer? I'm looking at over $250,000 dollars right off the bat. The original owner is willing to lease me his retail building and staff me with one of his old managers. He won't support my venture, however. I'm looking at around 18 months to re-open.
