    I have searched relentlessly to find some type of grant to start a small business and most of what I've found are technical or schooling grants I contacted the economic development for small businesses in my state and they said that most grants are not for individuals trying to start a business but are for government agencies and nonprofit organizations
    There are grants for individuals but you have to meet certain qualifications for them
    You should try to contact your local Small Business Administration SBA.org - Small Business Loans and more. for more information in your state about it and they might be able to point you in the right direction or a program called SCORE SCORE | Counselors to America's Small Business | SCORE they have a lot of info on loans and so on your local chamber of commerce might have information that you might find useful
