Unless your business involves the development of new technology or is a non-profit organization, it is difficult to find a grant to start or expand a small business.
Even though many publications and talk shows publicize grants to small businesses, there are only certain types of government grants available to small businesses. SBA, for instance, offers “Small Business Innovation Research” (SBIR) and “Small Business Technology Transfer” (STTR) grants. Grants from other agencies may also be available for new technologies, inventions, or products.
Finding and identifying government agencies that give grants for specific purposes or in specific subject areas requires considerable time, effort, and research. Getting a grant is hard work. Don’t be fooled by advertisements and promotions that state that you can get “free money” just by asking for it. There is a lot of competition for grant funds.
By partnering with EACs and SBDCs, we’re providing hands-on support to applicants, potentially shortening the certification timeline, and ultimately expanding opportunities for our diverse business community. This initiative reflects our customer service approach to the certification process and ongoing effort to further strengthen New York’s nation-leading MWBE program.
