Can a small business get government grant money fast?

Entrepreneurs may be able to get government small business grant money fast, but most likely the process will be relatively slow and cautious. Applying for a grant requires that you find a grant that meets your needs that you qualify for, and then write a proposal to the grant programme you are interested in. The proposals then must be reviewed, and one is picked as the winner, which the money will be awarded to. If you need money quickly it may be a better choice to apply for a government loan, which are processed faster and are easier to apply for.
