Millionaires Come From Starting A Business

Over 67% of the working millionaires in the USA got that way by starting their own business. And the government has plenty of money and help for you to start a business…full-time, part-time, in your home, or with 1,000 employees.

Why do over 1 million entrepreneurs a year get money from the government? JOBS…If you start a business you will create a job for yourself and hopefully others some day. If our society is going to continue to grow we have to keep creating new jobs and these new jobs come from small businesses starting and expanding.

You May Not Need As Much Money As You Think You Do. There are many forms a business can take. You can invest hundreds of thousands of dollars and put up a bib fancy store, or you can invest a few hundred dollars and begin selling on a website. You can invest thousands in an office, support staff, and good looking furniture, or start in your bedroom with just a phone and a desk.

The key to success in starting a business is not your tax structure, your office, your letterhead, your advisors or dozens of other things that people will tell you are important. The only thing that is critical to the success of your business is CUSTOMERS. So be sure to focus as much energy as possible on finding and satisfying customers. Everything else will fall into place.

Listed below are a number of programs that can provide free money and help for your business. If you are interested in thousands of additional programs for entrepreneuring, real estate, education, health and more, see our GovernmentMoneyClub.com.

$12 Million To Start A Real Big Business
No matter how much money you need there is probably a program for you. You can also collect large amounts of money by putting together money from a number of programs. The government also offers venture capital through the Small Business Administration’s Small Business Investment Companies (SBIC). Over 75,000 entrepreneurs received money from this source to get their dreams off the ground, including the big guys like Compaq, Apple, Federal Express and Staples. See how they can help you at Associate Administrator for Investment, U.S. SBA, 202-205-6510 or www.sba.gov/inv. Many states also have venture capital programs or will help you locate private venture capitalists and state governments can also help you prepare the necessary paperwork. A good place to look for this kind of help is your State Government Office of Economic Development located in your state capital. You can call 411 and ask for the state capital operator in your state capital or go to www.govengine.com and click on your state and find the office that is listed under business and/or economic development.

Get A $5,000 Grant With Bad Credit
Maybe you don’t need a bunch of money to get your idea off the ground. Maybe all you need is just a few thousand dollars to get your idea to go. Well, there are hundreds of non-profit organizations that offer small grants and easy loans aimed at people who would never be able to get money from traditional sources. It is difficult to locate all of these groups around the country, but two good starting places are: 1) Association for Enterprise Opportunity at 703-841-7760 or www.microenterpriseworks.org/nearyou/; and 2) The Foundation Center at 212-620-4230 or www.fdncenter.org.

Money For Women And Minorities To Start A Business
Two out of every three businesses are started by women, and women are more successful at starting businesses than men. So the government has set up a number of money programs especially for women who want to start or grow a business. There are also special programs for minorities and those with disabilities. To find these programs start looking for federal money in The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance published by the U.S. Government Printing Office (www.gpo.gov) or look at it for free on the web at www.cfda.gov. Then check your State Government Office of Economic Development and tell them what you are trying to do. You can call 411 and ask for the state capital operator in your state capital or go to www.govengine.com and click on your state and find the office that is listed under business and/or economic development.

$50,000 Grant To Train Your Employees
The more employees you have the more money you can get. The government wants your employees to be the best trained in the world so America can compete in a world economy. You can get money to train your employees in almost any skill including computers, customer service or even stress management. Although it is a federal program the money is distributed through local training boards in your state capital. Then check your State Government Office of Economic Development and tell them what you are trying to do. You can call 411 and ask for the state capital operator in your state capital or go to www.govengine.com and click on your state and find the office that is listed under business and/or economic development.

$14,000 To Learn To Operate A Business
If you are out of work, you may be able to get money to live on as well as money to pay for entrepreneur training in order to run your own business. These programs are run with federal money and state money. Each state has different rules and the main idea is that they have money for you to train to get a better job along with money to live on while you are training. And your new job can be starting your own business. These programs are run through your state One-Stop Career Center located in your state capital, but will have additional offices all over your state. You can find your local office by calling 411 and asking for the state capital operator in your state capital. Ask for your local “One-Stop Career Center.” Or go to http://usworkforce.org/onestop/onestopmap.html.

$10,000 To Put A New Sign On Your Business
Most local governments have money programs to help businesses in their area. Be sure to check your city, your county or your local development agency. The money for these programs can originate from the federal government, state government or local generated taxes. These programs can be for buildings, equipment, working capital, hiring employees or for local beautification projects like painting the front of your store and putting up a new sign. If you are opening up a business, you can shop around at different cities and counties to see who may have the most money for you. If you don’t know who to contact, call the information operator at 411 and ask for the mayor of the city or the head of the county government. The top office is always the best place to start. You can also go to www.govengine.com and click on your state. You will see a list of all the counties and cities in your state along with the relevant websites.

Be Careful Of Accountants
An accountant can make a simple business very complicated and you won’t be able to tell what your business is doing unless you call the accountant. If you are a small business and know how to keep a check book, then you likely don’t need an accountant. You know that money comes in, money goes out, and when you have no more money, you are out of business. The software, QuickBooks, has made it pretty easy for most businesses to do most of the accounting themselves. If you need FREE HELP with your accounting or tax problems you can contact your local Small Business Development Center in the item listed below this one. Don’t hire someone to do a job for you when you can get it done for FREEEEEEE.

Free Help Writing Business Plans Or Grant Applications
Don’t believe it when some professional tries to scare you into thinking how hard it is to write a business plan or fill out a money application. This is the least of your problems, plus there is plenty of free help in filling them out when the time comes. The first thing you must do in getting government money is get a copy of the application that you believe may give you the money you need. No one should ever investigate hiring a professional before you even know where you are going to apply for the money. And once you get an application in hand and you think you need help, contact your local Small Business Development Center at 800-8-ASK-SBA or www.sba.gov/sbdc/sbdcnear.html. They will help you for free or for next to nothing. You can get help from the best grant writing experts in the country at a non-profit organization called The Foundation Center. Their materials are available for free in libraries all over the country. You can find out where by contacting them at 212-620-4230 or www.fdncenter.org. By the way, I’ve seen a lot of applications for government money and many of them were so sloppy and unintelligible that any teacher would have given them a flunking grade, but they still got their money. And some applications are only one page long and you can get up to $150,000 for filling them out. Worrying about filling out an application before you have one in hand is like buying a prom dress before you are invited to the prom. First things first.
