I have to add a caveat about *grants* however — they are very, very few and far between for small businesses. Most of what SBA does, for example, is backing loans provided by banks. There are other financing sources, such as local Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) which may themselves receive federal grants in order to operate their programs.

But by far the vast majority of resources available to small businesses are in the form of loans — or contracting opportunities. My job involves helping small businesses in St Louis try to identify contracting opportunities. Believe me, I get the “where’s my grant?” question every other day these days!

Probably not. It’s not on topic for this blog and I’m sure there will be millions of other blogs about it. Let’s keep the amateur news coverage to a minimum.

This article is very good and has much information, especially, now that some many people are afraid to take a change in going into business. Small businesses grow and thrive, according to research, when the economic is down. I believe that now is a good time to research, brainstorm and find a home-based business that fit.

For those reading this article I say take heed and miss out on “no more opportunities” to move ahead. If you need coaching — get yourself a business coach! Now is your time to shine.
