Grant information

My name is Sharon. I want to purchase a franchise but do not have the 30,000 necessary . I keep hearing about govenment grants for women and minorities but do not know where to start or how to write a grant proposal. Thre are grant CD'd out there but I do not do not have a current checking account or credit card to purchase one. Has anyone out there written a winning proposal and would be willing to help me do the same?Would be willing to compensate you out of my first years profits.

Check out the forum post in this section entitled "Grants" (http://www.sta.rtup.biz/forum/topic/show?id=2084667%3ATopic%3A5816). Also, crucial to any business is capital, so I'd strongly recommend you form your business entity, open a business bank account, and get a business credit card as soon as possible. You won't be able to do business without the ability to make and receive payments.

Good luck on your journey!; ▶ Reply to This

Also, you can go to any Walgreens or Valero Gas Station and get yourself a Green Dot Master Card or Visa for $9.95 plus the amount you want to load it with. Once you receive your card then you can recharge it for $4.95 plus the amount.; ▶ Reply to This
