Hello, How are You today? Thank You Very Much for the tip! I will check into it.

I would check with Sonoma County and take a look at their website that has a resource plan for small business owners.

Best of luck. Namaste-

I am a disabled person who wants to start a small business. I want to get off disability. I have two degrees in computer science & want to start a consulting firm. Funding is almost impossible to get right now. Banks have been bailed out, and are solvent, but aren't freeing up money for small businesses. Oh, they're loaning alright, but only to each other, at zero percent interest, so they can make more money betting on derivatives. With our money!

So, unless I want to borrow 30 million dollars, I'm not being considered. And the GOP just filibustered a small business bill (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/30/us/politics/30cong.html)that would have forced banks to free up their lending, so we're in limbo. In the meantime, all our bills are going up, food and fuel, water & electricity, going up and up, but our income is flatter that the great salt flats.

Man, it's getting almost impossible to make it in America anymore. 

None of these grants are free as you suggested.  They all ask for a fee, albeit a small one sometimes.  But it still costs.  Thanks anyway.........

NOTE**

40 Coupons
By Feb. 17, 2009, U.S. television stations will broadcast digital signals only. Analog TV sets – which most Americans have – will need a digital-to-analog converter box to receive programming unless they get their signal from cable or satellite. A $40 coupon can take some of the sting out of paying for a converter box. (more)

You can try also private foundations. The largest foundations offering grants for education can be found here:  http://foundations-aid.idilogic.aidpage.com/foundations-aid/

It really does not work that way!  The information does not come to you - you have to go to the information!

One 17 year old took their summer vacation and did nothing but look for scholarships and grants that they could apply for for college.  They managed to pay their college tuition that way!

So that is whay YOU have to do!  This information will not come to you - you will have to go to it!
