FAQs

Where can I find grants to start my business?

There are very few grants, if any, available for for-profit businesses. If any exist they will be for specialized industries, or focused on a targeted segment of business owners or for workforce skills training. Not all grants are available at all times, so one will have to continually search for grants. It is advisable to share what you're looking for with a variety of business organizations so that if they become aware of a grant they can forward that information to you.
