Are Government Grants Available to Small Business Owners?

I just wonder, if government makes any money available as grants for small businesses...
I've started a two-men operation recently, in the field of business consulting, and badly need some funds to acquire office equipment and a car.

My local employment agency told me that fed. gov. approves grants to small business owners starting their first business. The problem is, this is my third business venture, and ai don't know if I qualify...
If I do, where do I apply?

Business Grants for Those Who Deserve Them!

We know that business grants are there to provide financial assistance to those who need it , and who deserve it.
There's little sense in throwing free grant's money at enterprises who are seriously flawed, with bad business management and plan. Only some serious structural revamping will save them.

But, approving business grants to deserving commercial operations can result in them developing into very viable and flourishing ventures. They will pay taxes to the federal government, and provide employment to the local population.

Now, how do you recognize which business deserves the grant money?

Young People Don't Know Enough About Education Grants!

It is surprising just how many young people don’t know what education grants are available or even where to begin to look for them. I have had two kids ask me this past week how do they get education grants. Would have thought this was all covered while
at school, but maybe they were not paying attention that day.

Anyway, I told them to go to the Dept of Education website first up and from there they would be able to ascertain what education grants were available that suited their circumstances. They had to start somewhere and this is where I tell all the kids to begin. After a couple of hours of genuine research they should have a fairly good idea as to what education grants are all about.
