Grants are free money for all intents and purposes. Even a low-interest loan, however, comes at a cost. Depending on the type of business financing, you could face APRs anywhere from 5% to 150%, depending on your personal and business credit scores, cash flow, years in business, collateral, and other factors.

Big corporations, on the other hand, will often provide small business grants to contest winners. For you, it’s money to grow your business.

State small business grants. Federal small business grants are limited by industry and in number, and they’re often very competitive. Don’t feel discouraged—look for grants and assistance programs at a state or municipal level for access to a wider variety of lesser-known opportunities.
