While there are grant programs out there to help one start a business you would really have to provide more information about the kind of business that you want to start.

 For instance I know of a grant program open to minorities that want to start their own business and one of their recent grant recipients used the movie to start her own film company.

 However this grant program is not provided by the government.  It is provided by anther organization.  The program itself has been around for a while now.

If you are not a minority then you should look into other grant programs that you may be eligible to apply for.  I know that a grammy award-winning musician has gotten more than one government grant.  Local areas also sometimes have grant programs for those that want to start their own business.  There is a grant program especially geared towards those with disabilities who want to start their own business.

Unfortunately just because you are having trouble finding these grant programs doesn't mean that they don't exist - you just have to keep looking until you find them.

For instance I had a client who was looking for grant programs for her for-profit daycare.  Now if you look on line or listen to the so-called "experts" they will tell you that such grant programs don't exist.  If that is the case then why was I able to find this client over 10 pages worth of information on grant programs that her for-profit daycare is eligible to apply for?

 The bottom line is just that you have to keep looking for these grant programs because they are out there - and quite surprisingly some of them are just begging for people to apply for them!
