Your bank will probably want personal guarantees if they even consider you for a loan. Your savings and even your home may be at risk if your business fails, so the thought of a free government grant to start your business is very tempting. But do these grants really exist and can the average entrepreneur get one?
There are indeed many grant and loan programs for small businesses, including many that are administered by state or local government, rather than the federal government. Unfortunately, the whole procedure for finding and applying for a grant can be time-consuming and complex. Some grant eligibility decisions can take a while to wade through the bureaucratic processes. You will have to submit business plans and grant proposals that will take a considerable amount of time to create. Time which could be b
When I started in the search business in the early 1970's, it didn't take long for me to notice that there were very few people in their 40's who were working in technology (my focal point at the time). I remember asking myself, "What happens when people turn 40 in this business?"
