Can I start a business with a government grant?

Most entrepreneurs will need more than a government grant to start a small business. If you are going to start a small business you may want to begin by having a small business plan in place to guide you and a budget to work with. Then you can determine if you lack funding, and if so, what you need the extra money for. This will be essential when looking for a grant, as each offer has its own intended uses. Grants also have their own eligibility conditions that must be taken into account. If you do not find one you can use for your small business needs at the national rank, consider expanding your search to the regional and local area offers also.
