Getting a Grant to start a business
Please only people with a positive attitude, People who have gotten grants before or know of people who have, people with some good success focused feed back please. Thak you.
I just moved to a small town. There are a lot of small business here, most of which sell and specialize in different things. I have been thinking about starting a business for a few years now. I think this is a good place to start. We have a place we are renting where the rent will stay stabalized. My sweetie has a good job. I really need to get into my own thing doing art. There are a lot of artists here that could showcase their work at my potential store. The question is, how do I go about getting a grant to make it happen. I would need enough money to pay myself about $400-500 a week+rent+supplies+enough to possibly hire 1 employee if I wanted too. This is a really small business. It will only be open like 9 hours a day 5 days a week. If it helps...I am a woman and I am of south american and african american decent, I also have some native american in me and I am 25. I know they do a lot of grants based on that stuff so if you know of any.

Yeah I understand. I acknowledged that Branding is important in establishing your reputation. This applies to a person, an organization or a product. Personal Branding is especially important in today’s marketplace for a service provider or a job seeker. Your personal brand is how others compare you with your peers. Those that don’t choose to differentiate themselves are turning into commodities.
In service companies, it is often the person behind the product or service that is its greatest asset. Personal branding builds up your unique value proposition and allows you to stand out from everyone else. Creating your own “personal brand” helps drive yourself to the next level.
I’ve known this site brandmelive.com that helps and guides and individual or startup company on how to create your own unique brand that stands out from the rest. In less than a month, I assure you, you will start to experience great amount of success on your brand or business with the efforts you put in. Believe me, I’m one of the million that benefited from that site.

Well sinc you have native american ansestry in you you should first try loans and grants given out by your government(state/provincial or federal) for Native Americans. Another god thing to try is to find organizations in your area that help out small businesses, I can not really tell you were to look because I dont know were it is you live but most areas will have some organization that will be of some us to you.
If you cant find help with either of these start talking to other business owners in the area ask them for adivce and how they got started out. If all else fails you may have to look at a loan.
Starting a business isnt easy and will be lots of work. I hope all goes well!
Good luck!!
