hello everyone:
i am an immigrant from El Salvador ,i have my citizenship and want to start
my own business of towing trucks(road services) here in MD, are there any
grants for me to apply?
You are wasting your time trying to pursue grants - they just do not work
that way. If they did, everyone in the country would be a business owner.
Try to find ways to finance your business on your own. Banks and most private
lenders do not lend to startup businesses - just too much risk and banks are
not taking on risk. However, their are alternative lenders that might be
willing to finance specific needs like equipment or property - but, they will
not fund an entire business. Thus, you might have to find ways to piece
together the financing you need - this means that you have to understand your
financing needs first.
But, grants do not work the way you hope they would.

Congratulations on your desire to have your own business. I am sorry to hear
about your son. Grants are not generally available to for-profit businesses.
Your best bet is to seek a loan. You may want to visit with a womens business
center, a small business development center, or a SCORE office in your area.
Their services are free. They can evaluate your business plan and guide you
on how to proceed. The restaurant industry is one of the most highly
regulated, so you will want to be certain you have thoroughly researched and
documented your plans.
First i like to congrats you for starting business. Why don't you try in the
private financial company for the loan as they provide loan easily without
nay extra formalities.

Hi, BizResearcher makes a great point about grants and contacting a local resource. Regarding loans: SBA doesn't loan money directly to small business owners; instead, SBA can help facilitate a loan for you with a third party lender, guarantee a bond, or help you find venture capital. Here's what you need to know about SBA's role in the loan process. Check this information out to learn about what you need when considering applying for a loan, including details about credit factors that are taken into consideration. Good luck!

Grants are not generally available to start for-profit businesses. You might,
however, qualify for a loan. You may want to contact a counselor at a small
business development center or a SCORE office in your area. They can evaluate
your plan and tell you how to best proceed.
