Millions Left on the Table

For decades a single myth has kept business owners from money that was sitting there for them: grants are only for nonprofits.

They are not. If you run a for-profit business, you are eligible, and most owners never find out.

This book names where the money actually is. Federal grants for for-profit businesses. SBIR and STTR, explained without the acronym soup. USDA rural business grants. State economic development money. Grants for veteran-owned businesses, and for minority and women-owned businesses. Industry-specific opportunities most owners never hear about.

Then how to find the ones you qualify for, the common mistakes that kill applications before anyone reads them, and how to build a pipeline instead of chasing one deadline at a time.

It ends where it should, on going from a first grant to funding you can count on.

Worksheets and quick references are included, built to be printed and used.
