So you’ve got your big idea, but you’ve also got a few obstacles in your way…
Finding the cash required to get an idea up and running is often the biggest challenge a start-up idea will face, and many ideas will never come to fruition because of a lack of funding.
But what a lot of big thinkers and idea generators are unaware of is the huge list of federal and state government grants available to offset the costs of starting a business or getting an idea off the ground.
For example in the agribusiness and food sector alone there are more than 10 separate categories of grants and funding assistance available, offering anywhere from $10,000 to $1.5 million in funding.
