This article will focus primarily on government small business grants. Having the ability to secure funding that does not have to be repaid is a primary advantage of this type of funding. The major shortcomings of this funding choice are the large amounts of forms that have to be filled out and the bureaucratic red tape that has to be endured. But given the goal it's a small price to pay. Resources That May Be Needed Keep in mind that the federal small business government grant process is not very different then the one needed for getting a loan from a bank. You will still need business numbers, financial reports and tax information. It would be wise to locate an accountant who works in your specific corporate industry with related businesses. This will help you construct a grant application whose commerce information makes sense and can actually work. By enlisting the aid of an accountant that is familiar with your industry you will be saving yourself time and unnecessary effort. A business plan is required for parts of the grant process. Make sure your accountant has relevant experience in providing the financials for a business plan. Next find an attorney who has grant experience and who has proven themselves to be competent in these matters. Your particular application my not be big enough to require the services of an attorney. However, if it is then make sure you hire one. By finding an attorney who has experience in the grant application process they should be in a place to guide you past common novice mistakes. If they have worked in the industry long enough they should also be able to recommend other needed resources.
