After deciding I wanted to work for myself, I started looking for small business funding sources. I had no idea how much was involved in applying for financing and grants for a new small business. After working my way through the process with several different grant companies and lenders, I decided that I wanted to share my knowledge. I knew there had to be others out there as confused as I was. I hope that the information on this site helps you to determine how best to proceed as you look for funding to get your business idea off the ground.
