Business grants are a form of free money. meaning you do not need to pay it back. Grants are available for a variety of business purposes, from a variety of sources, including the federal government, state and local government agencies, and private companies and individuals. Awards can be for more than $10,000!

Getting awarded a grant can take some work. First, you need to find grants for which you and your business qualify. Next comes the sometimes lengthy application process which can require good writing skills and a well-defined business plan. No business plan, no grant. Your business plan needs to tell your story as to why your company will be successful and how the grant funding will enable your business to do great things. Depending on the grant, you may be asked how you’ll fulfill the specific goals of the grant.
