I would like to receive a grant to start my lawn and garden service I'm looking to put 5 - 10 unemployed kids to work. My goal is to go to all the real estates business to get contract where my business to get started I presently have about 5 yards I'm presently cutting. I'm presently taking a online course at south university working on my associate degree in business. My other goal is to purchase about 5 - 10 spacewalks and rent out party supplies. This is not only for my personal income but my goal is too have something for the kids that are not able to afford to take vacation during the summer. I have this vision to have a kids day twice a summer with the spacewalk, hotdogs, hamburgers ect. The problem with my dream is finance. I know with a grant it do not have to be paid back but I can pay it back by giving to th community in the river parishes. I would like to thank the lender in advance.
You obviously have good intentions, but good intentions are not enough to
secure a grant or a loan. The government does not issue grants to people for
starting a small business. this is a myth.
You can try peer to peer lending sites. They are probably your best option.
If you have a good story (you do) and a decent business idea you might get
backing (loan). With these places lenders offer very small loans, but you can
get the full amount you need. It usually takes a lot of these small loans to
get to your goal. You do have to pay it back though.
don't waste anymore time looking for free grants. They don't exist.
Unfortunately, grants are not generally available to for-profit businesses
unless you have invented a new, cutting edge technology. You may want to
visit with a counselor at a small business development center or a SCORE
office in your area. Their services are free and they can help you write your
business plan and discuss ways to make your dream a reality.

You may want to read our blog post, Job Creation Grants to get started. The Loans Grants and Search Tool on the SBA.gov website is another way they you may be able to find specific grants for you. I hope these resources help!
