I need money for my business. Can I get some from the government for free?

There are no legitimate offers for free government money because there are other terms attached to any government money suited for what a small business may need. There are national grants that are free to apply for, however, which can help you with what your small business may need. If you do find an option that you are considering applying for, look at the eligibility terms to ensure you are able to be considered to receive the funding. You will also need to know how much money you need and what you will use it for, as each offer is open for a specific purpose. Learn more by filling out the form on our website.
