Can an entrepreneur be guaranteed government small business grants for free?

There is no guaranteed way for an entrepreneur to get government grants, and there certainly are not any that are being offered for free. Whether you are awarded a grant or not depends on if you meet the eligibility terms for the grant you apply for, write a successful proposal, and have uses for the money from the grant that are in line with the intended uses of the funds. If you want to increase your chance of success, write your proposal with details of your long term small business plan, and show enthusiasm. Do not overlook grants at the regional tier either, there may be more options you would have missed if not.
