small business grant
Entrepreneur's free money
A small business grant is money given to a business—typically by a government agency, foundation, or corporation—that doesn't need to be repaid.
Unlike loans, grants are essentially free funding, though they usually come with eligibility requirements, application processes, and conditions on how the money can be spent: She applied for a small business grant to upgrade her equipment.
Competition for grants is often intense, and recipients may need to document how funds were used.
