You could find the grants that you qualify for, and make the application, on the government website but, it will be very challenging and time consuming.

Fortunately there is excellent software which will automate the entire process for you.

Process for Finding Small Business Grants

The process of finding a small business grant program and reviewing the requirements is time consuming. The requirements are very specific and, in some cases, difficult to meet. Eligibility can be based on location, sales revenue to date, years in business, sex, race, and purpose of funding. Should you embark on a small business grant seeking mission? Answer these questions and you will be much clearer:

1. Do you have the time and resources to search for a small business grant program and apply?

2. Can you hire a consultant or learn the grant application process by yourself?

3. Does your business need the money now for expansion or can you wait up to a year?

4. If you do undertake the grant process, will it hurt your business taking away time from selling and marketing?

If you want to take a look at the small business grants available, the best place to start is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA). The CFDA lists thousands of grants from all government agencies for free. Do not overlook the other assistance programs available such as surplus equipment and training.

If you do find a small business grant program available for your business, be ready to go through a lengthy, approval process. With funding cutbacks and high competition be prepared with the following grant tips:

Small Business Grant Tips

Provide complete and accurate information in the application. An incomplete application may not make the review process or can add delay to approving your grant.

Get to know your grant officer and their constraints, budget and concerns with approving your grant.

Stand out among the crowd with a well-prepared business plan if required. Demonstrate your understanding of the business. Show how the money will bring the benefit the government agency wants.

Bring in outside experts if necessary. An accountant or consultant can add credibility to your application process.

Keep in touch. Make regular contact with the grant office in a professional, non-intrusive manner.

The task of locating and applying for a small business grant is not for the faint at heart. Take an honest look at alternative sources first, such as loans, personal credit lines, friends and family.

Many small business grants go to waste each year because people just don't know about them or business people take one look at all the research and paperwork and general nonsense they must go through to file a request and give up.

Use one of these Grants software programs to automate the entire process and reap the rewards.
