Small Business #Grants from Big Corporations

Government grants are great, but the requirements are often hyper-specific, or the funding amounts aren’t that large. Big corporations will often provide small business grants to contest winners. For you, it’s money to grow your business. For them, it’s a PR win, netting loyal corporate customers and a lot of good will.

When to apply for federal #funding (#SBIR #grant)

The Small Business Administration (SBA) provides various eligibility requirements to apply for federal funding. To apply for Small Bussiness Innovative Research (SBIR) funding, your business must qualify as a Small Business Concern (SBC) as defined by SBA regulations.

Beyond #SBIR: Other Non-Dilutive Funding Streams

Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants are a great place to start when searching for funding streams for your small business. Because of the various government organizations that offer grants, SBIR provides plenty of opportunities for grants in a variety of fields. However, SBIR is not the only form of non-dilutive funding available for small businesses; it’s important not to get so caught up in searching for an SBIR, that you overlook other potential funding sources that could be very beneficial for your business.
