Looking for a business grant?

Yes, there are legitimate grants available, but you need to roll up your sleeves because it takes a great deal of effort to find one; apply for it; and report on it. You’ll need to plan on waiting periods, too, as many grants have application deadlines and award dates.

What businesses can get grants?

Generally non-profits and not-for-profits or businesses that have a new technology or research. Grants aren’t available merely for increasing your financial assets.
