i am thinking about trying to get a government grant to finace my home business but i wanted to know what others either know about this or what are your feelings about it. i keep on seeing that man that wears the question mark suit so that is what got me to thinking maybe i should look into the government grant. do you think that you never have to pay back like some say thanks for your input on this issue

Don't buy that book. That is all stuff you can get for free if you just research it. Or go to Barnes and Noble. Every state has a Small Business office. Contact them and ask them about receiving grants.

A grant doesn't have to be paid back usually, a loan does. I don't know too much about government grants, but have been thinking of looking into them. The only thing I do know is that when you get the contract to sign, read it thoroughly, to ensure you know all of its "rules".
