Does the local government provide grants to start a small business?

Appropriate local government agencies do indeed offer grants to help start small business owners out with their initial financing. Some of these grants are rather general within their conditions beyond the applicant being a new small business, whereas others may have further qualifying terms, such as just what a start up small business may use the money for. You will need to research the local government grants offered in your area.
