I'm wondering if anyone is able to give me some hints and tips or some websites for business grants. I've been trying to apply but they keep charging me and Kevin Trudeau's book sayes it is free to apply.

Great grant information can be found here online at the SBA. You are right it
is free to apply, and you should never have to pay for any Grant submission
or information.

As KMurray mentioned, grants are not generally available to start a
for-profit business. You will discover that many books and websites saying
there is free money are scams. They make their money by charging you a fee to
apply, then they tell you you don't qualify. Your best bet is to seek a loan.
You might also visit with a counselor at a small business development center
or a womens business center in your area. Their services are free and they
can recommend how best to proceed.

Hi there, Federal grants are typically aimed at specific industries and targeted causes identified by the government, such as scientific and medical research, conservation efforts, and so on. Check out this blog for more information. But other options, like loans, may be available to help. Good luck!
