  1. Why not use business credit cards. It can be use to provide a temporary fund for a business without waiting for a bulk of cash to come in hand.
  2. Grants come from the government. Funding comes from investors that believe in your ideas. It sounds to me like you don't know the first thing about business. Do you even have a business plan? Do you know how to write one? That's the first thing you will have to show anyone before you get any money. Do you know it can take several weeks or months to write a solid, proper business plan? It involves a lot of research so that you are able to answer any question that a potential investor might ask.
  3. Go to http://www.grants.gov for a list of government grants and how you can apply for them. However, there are no grants for a for profit business unless you are opening a daycare and then it is a minimal amount. If you need money, you will need to apply for a loan. No lender will talk to you unless you provide them with a valid business plan. Go to http://www.sba.gov , http://www.score.org or http://www.bplan.com for sample business plans and instructions on how to write a business plan. Then, go to http://www.score.org/ and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to review your business plan and discuss various loan options available to you. SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). SCORE has 389 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories, with 10,500 volunteers nationwide. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate time and expertise as business counselors.
