How can I get a grant or money to start a small business? I don't want to start big, just small but have no assets or savings or even a job right now! HELP! I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO DEBT TO START A BUSINESS. I WILL SOON HAVE NO INCOME SO NEED HELP QUICKLY!!!

Anyone who knows government or other grant money or foundations that offer adult scholarships to start a business please HELP!!!

What business are you planning on?

You are correct you must always start small not big...

You are also best to study first, a business course which you may be able to get a grant for, because without a business plan and sound knowledge of how that plan can be put into action and work, from studying that particular area, researching a Grant can not, i believe, be obtained on a "dream" a good dream but that is all it is to the Government.

You may also have to look at what you are good at and start part time work, so that you can afford to do this, that can then maybe become full time, whilst you study.

Dreams can come true trust me.. I own a successful business that has it's ups and downs and i have had to do all the hard yakka, including getting Diplomas and studying whilst still working...

This poses another question i guess, do you like studying? Do you realise the hours involved whilst working to support that dream at the same time?

Or are you better of working and waiting until you have savings so you can start that dream?

Dreams are important however, so never stop dreaming....

Just be ready for the reality of them.
