Grants to Start a Small Business

Question:

I am wondering if you can direct me to a Grant Writer located in Orlando,
Fl. I am looking to start a new small business and am in need of a Grant
Writer.

Answer:

Unfortunately, a grant writer can't help you with starting a business unless
you are starting a nonprofit business. Grants are generally not available to
individuals wanting to start a business. You should contact your Small
Business Development Center. They should be able to help you for free if
there is anything available. I've been in the business of grant writing for
over 16 years and have never known anyone to get a grant to start a
business. Unfortunately, there are many fast talking salesmen and women out
there trying to make a fast buck making people like you believe these types
of grants are plentiful. They are not.
