I have to admit once upon a time I was a bit skeptical about any link or information I would receive pertaining to business grants. Mostly because when I did reach out to find grants most of the time I would be prompted to pay $79.95 or some unreasonable amount of money to receive the information about a supposedly FREE Government resource! It all seemed counterproductive and honestly "scammy" (made up word of the day)

Flash forward--as I've been re-vamping my accounting and bookkeeping business from outside my back yard and into the mainstream, I've been discovering many unknown "gems" and resources available for existing and aspiring business owners and you know what? They're LEGIT!

Getting grants from these places may not be as simple as asking, you actually have to build a business plan and pitch your idea to them, but the beauty of it all is that that is it. In the wake of the economic crisis, recession and just historical knowledge, many organizations are realizing that minorities and women of color in particular aren't catching up in numbers to their white counterparts as successful entrepreneurs and urban dwellers are still left to their own devices when seeking to established businesses. Access to capital still remains an issue!

Check out this post to discover 3 resources that may help you on your journey to business success!

Be empowered,
