Recently I posted a resource for readers wishing to receive grant money to start an actual business. I talked to a friend about this and tried to explain the fact that in this day and age, the US Federal Government does not give grants to start a business.
If you click on the title link you can go directly to the SBA site. Read it and weep if you wish, or remember, if you are a small business already, for a low fee you can purchase the most amazing program(s) out there: The Federal Money Retriever or the Grant Gate, created and delivered for your grant writing effectiveness. If you are an individual, you may download the program for free.
Here's what I found verbatim from the SBA website regarding business grants, and I quote:
"Grants
SBA Program Office
Please Note that the U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, though it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. While the SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."

So What Does This Say?
- No Grants for starting a business
- Loans are available
- Locate a grant through a government funded agency
What does this mean to you?
- You have to locate the agencies who provide grants
- Local government programs are in the grant business
- The Federal Government gives to the support of research and development
Enter Idilogic (Grant Gate and Federal Money Retriever Programs are their products)
The people who created these programs have invented a way to qualify, locate, write and actually apply for grants. If you are an existing business, for a nominal fee, you may purchase their program. If you think it's expensive, then I challenge you to find anything comparable which locates and writes the application, saves the application, and helps you continue to submit to multiple agencies, all from one easy to use program.
FYI: I am not an affiliate of Idilogic; I make no money from any products you may purchase from Idilogic. And, regarding grants, I am not an expert, nor do I claim to be, and I hope you don't get the impression I am trying to be. As I find I share. That's it. I am just so weary from hearing people talk about getting a "government grant". I am tired of seeing the same purchase items trying to get so-called government grants. I hope this has shed a little light on how grants work, where to find the resources and what to do with what you discover.
Please locate the previous post written this month about Idilogic called "Free Grant Program". There you will find what you need to obtain the programs for your personal or professional use. I have a link on the right sidebar too, which is simply entitled Idilogic. Go to their site and find what you are seeking.
