Do anyone know how to apply for a gov. grant? If so will you let me know. I am wanting to buy a business. I looked online and all I can get is a fee to be paid for someone to let you use their website.

A few things for your information..... 1. The federal government does not give grants to people wanting to start/buy a small business....any website that claims such things is lying. 2. State level grants do exist but are VERY, very rare and are not directed at starting businesses, but rather expanding well established ones. 3. What you are really needing is NOT a 'grant,' but a 'loan' (e.g. from a bank) or rich friends, other-wise-known-as 'investors' 4. There are legitimate resources out there to help start/buy businesses. I would recommend checking out the U.S. Small Business Administration website. It will guide you step by step: www.sba.gov/ 5. Also, technically, your friendly neighborhood Chamber of Commerce ought to be able to suggest other resources. However, I would start with the website I mentioned in (4).....to make sure you are certain and realistic about the expectations.
