Starting a Small Business
I'm currently drawing up a business proposal (or as my dad called it, a vision) that I hope to draw some interest with. My plan is a hard sell - not a guaranteed profit. I'm contemplating moving along the non-profit lines, but I first want to see if I can get some grants and perhaps some venture capitalists who have some extra money to throw around.
My question would be to those who know small business. What are some grants that I can apply for, and through who? Do I need a profit forecast to get started? How can I get anything like that if I don't have any business education and currently no capital to hire someone who does? Finally, are there any off-beat web resources that you would suggest?
