Business Grants

One of the best places to research the availability of business grants and loans is the Small Business Administration, an agency of the federal government with a mandate to help business, especially small business succeed. The Small Business Administration which has local offices in all major metropolitan areas has three different loan programs, each one designed to help various segments of the business market get access to business grants and loans.

The most popular form of business grants and loans made available through the Small Business Administration are called 7 (a) loans. These business loans are so named after the section in the Small Business Act that offers the provision of these loans. In order to be eligible for this type of business loan a business must have good character, quality management capabilities, and a good business plan.

Applications for business loans and grants from the Small Business Administration are available on their website, from banks and other approved lenders, and from local Small Business Administration offices across the country.

For a full listing of these business grants and loans visit the local office of the Small Business Administration or contact the office of business development at your nearest city hall.

Grants For Business Development

Executive summary by Robert Wilkerson

Billions of dollars are given out each year in grants for new and existing businesses. This represents over 1 million business owners. Grants are available from three main sources – federal programs, state programs and private foundations.

Grants do not have to be repaid. Loans with high interest rates can smother any profits a new business might generate. With accurate information and a proper strategy, grants are within reach of most business owners.

To successfully obtain a grant, you need:

1. A listing of applicable grant programs from the federal government, state governments and private foundations.

2. The appropriate forms for each grant application.

3. A proven strategy for getting your grant application approved.

There is definitely a lot of work involved in applying for and getting grants for business development, but as grant money does not have to be repaid, the return on your investment of time is potentially huge.

Here some guides to obtain grants for business:

1. Small “for profit” businesses can hardly get any free cash from the government because the money is reserved for non-profit organizations and small “non-profit” businesses that can provide jobs to the poor and is located, usually, in a poor community.

2.  Only businesses that are linked to research and development of new technology can actually be positive of a government grant, so if you are thinking of investing on a food franchise or putting up a store, do not even hope for money from the government. Only those who have the brightest minds in science and engineering can pass through these hard-to-obtain funds. Research projects can be granted $100,000 funds and $1 million for the productions of possible materials out of the researched ideas.

3.  Even for those who are qualified for the grant, keep in mind that government funds are not given anytime. They have an application processes that is time-bound. So if you missed you chance to submit your proposal, do not think of being approved just yet. You might have to wait for the next cycle of application process or wait for a call to submit project proposals.

4.  There is a slight hope you can get government money but it is not all free. Funds for small businesses can either be in the form of loans with interest or a measly 25% grant and a 75% money counterpart from you. Often, you have to report the progress of your business in detail so granting agency would know if you have spent the money for what it is intended or not.
