"Defining
Grants and Where To Apply For Them"
by Rebecca Game
There are two "major" types of grants and
they are academic grants and research grants. If you are looking for a
"business grant" then your business would would have to be involved in
one of these two areas, otherwise what you would need a is a small business
loan. These two things can get confusing. A grant is where the government
is going to give you money because you are going to benefit humanity in
some way, through education or through research. They are "granting" you
the money to start or continue that education or research that benefits
humanity. Whereas a small business loan is just that, a "loan" meaning
you have to pay the money back. Sometimes the government will "grant" you
money for free depending upon your income, but then again the money must
be used for "educating or training" you.
.
Applying for a business grant is very complex
and therefore I would suggest hiring a professional "grant writer". They
know all the ins and outs of applying for a business grant or even for
a grant for non-profit organizations. This is not something I would tackle
on my own as again, you have to do a lot of market research and provide
demographics and other tools proving you are worthy of the grant.
I would suggest going through a reputable
firm or using someone that has applied for business grants before so they
can show you the ropes, like Deborah Kluge of ProposalWriter.com
