Are there any grants for small businesses? Maybe a good loan. My credit ain't that great, why I asked about grants.?

Looking to expand my refurbished appliance business. Want about $5k or less, would like to hire an employee and possibly purchase some new inventory. I've got the customer need, but I just can't seem to be able to hire someone to help. Every time I think I can hire someone, something happens and I'm just zonked again. I'm working 6-7 days a week, 8-12+ hrs a day. Even if I could hire a person to deliver and answer phones, I could put out a lot more inventory.

    Why would the tax payers GIVE you money to play businessman? They don't.

    Contact the Small Business Administration to find out if you are eligible for a small, low interest loan.

    Contact your local economic development agency or small business development center. SBA does micro-loans. There's not a whole lot out there in grants, but there are some loan possibilities out there that those people know about.
