For the past three years, I have worked as a Virtual Assistant. I didn't take it too seriously, just accepted jobs here and there to make ends meet. However a friend of mine introduced me to a government program called the Self-Employment Benefit Program. If approved, you receive a small grant to get your business off the ground. The stipulations are that they help you along the way for example a quarterly financial statement is required to be submitted, they go through it and give you advice on how to invest better. They visit your location and advise on how to improve. Last Friday, I was approved for the program!! I'm excited because I don't have a choice but to take my business seriously now. I have to make something out of it and I have just the push to do it! I have been working non-stop on my website, trying to make just perfect! A friend of mine has offered to host an online website launch event on my behalf. Things are rolling pretty good and we should be ready to launch by next week. If you want to attend my launch event, please send me your email in a private message.

Is this grant just for online businesses? I've always wanted to own my own petstore, but don't have the money to start it. If it's not just for online businesses could you give me the info on how to apply?
