The United States government supports entrepreneurs and businesses by providing billions of dollars in funding through grants administered by 26 different Federal agencies. Each year, these agencies publish more than 1,000 different grant opportunities that are open to small businesses. Thousands more business grant opportunities are offered through state and local agencies. But make no mistake about it—while yes, there are billions of dollars in small business grants available every year, it’s not the ‘government money free-for-all’ that some people would have you believe. Governmental agencies don’t just give away ‘free’ money with no strings attached, and they don’t have billions of dollars in grants set aside just for women, minorities and people who want to start a business or pay off debts. The majority of federal government grants given to small businesses are awarded specifically to support research and development activities.
Even if your project is not related to research, there are lots of ways for your business to gain access to government grant funds, and this book can show you how.
The difficulty accessing business grants is that there are literally thousands of grant scams circulating across the Internet making it difficult to distinguish truth from fiction.
This book can show you how to how to identify the best business grant programs to suit your particular needs.
