Grants and business competitions
Learn how grants and business competitions works, including costs, repayment, ownership and questions to investigate before making a funding decision.
How it works
Programs award restricted funding or prizes for defined purposes. Awards are competitive and program-specific; SBA does not provide general grants to start or expand any business.
Questions to investigate
Is this program open and am I eligible? Is payment upfront or reimbursement? What conditions trigger repayment?
