Forget about buying Lesko's book.

If you choose to finance another car you will need to get permission from your trustee.  If you dont and he/she finds out about it, your case can be discharged.  You may try going to a buy here/pay here place.  They wont run your credit but the interest will be high.  Sometimes they have decent cars but get ready to pay a high monthly payment.

It is a simple matter.\nYou can go to Yahoo Search and type in \ngovernment grants; or go to the web site.\nI happen to know the $14 is for a company that is called a middle man. When I got a grant, I never paid the $14. The site I supply is the federal government.

Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

I have not been out today but I do like to spread ramdom acts of kindness throughout my day to others.  Try it...It can be fun.  Pay for the car behind you at the drive through, bring a dessert to your neighbor, let someone with less groceries cut inline in front of you at the store, Hand a toll both operator a $20 bill to pay for others tolls, compliment anyone on their outfit, hair whatever.   There are a million things you can do and doing these things makes America better.

Go to your local technical school, and ask about grants. In Wisconsin, the government pays for some of it.

The Government has created a portal to help individuals who need benefits because of life events. Visit http://www.govbenefits.gov\n\nUse the drop down button\nDO YOU NEED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF A LIFE EVENT?\nChoose the life situation best applicable to you and then see if you qualify for the available government assistance.\n\nForget grant money - there's hardly any money for individuals.

When you pay the money you are suppose to be on a list for advertisers to pick from. I paid my money 6 years ago and never got  picked. I think you would be better off if you contacted a company directly (for example Pizza Hut), and ask them about putting their ad on your  car, or driving their ad car.

Although you may have to purchase a subscription, this might be a website you could try:\nhttp://www.plunkettresearch.com/Industries/AutomobilesTrucks/tabid/76/Default.aspx#\n\nMake sure this is what you're looking for before you open your wallet.

March is ending and there is a strong chance that you've been scammed. You don't have to pay anyone to get grant information.

But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nNote, though, that it is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online.
