Over the last few months, we’ve taken a closer look at questions to ask when searching for small business startup grants, and examined funding options that specifically assist minority-owned small businesses. Now, it’s time to dive into federal small business grants — and it might surprise entrepreneurs to learn that agency-based financial aid is actually a lot more specialized.

Generally, federal small business grants go toward state and local departments (which dispense the money out to small businesses), and research and development programs.

This is a really well written list of grants and options for small business. One note I often pass onto my clients when it comes to grants - it is a long term growth strategy to be started when you are not necessarily in the immediate need for the additional funding - as these programs often take several steps to complete, along with time and patience.
All in all a fantastic option for your business financing portfolio.
