Keep in mind the following when looking for state and local funding options to help your business succeed:
1. Consider city, county, or state assistance programs for qualified small businesses. Some examples include tax abatements, urban-renewal set-asides, rural access, workforce training, and economic development.
2. Contact your state senator’s or representative’s office. The staff there can be helpful in pointing you toward state funds or programs for businesses.
3. Take advantage of “in-kind” credits. Like cash, these can be used as matching funds. In one case, a state program counted a company’s $200,000 local property-tax abatement as part of the matching requirement.
4. Understand the purpose and requirements of the program. It may call for raising matching funds or creating jobs.
5. Remember that having a good business plan and strong management team will help you make your case.

I have been dreaming for 5 years about opening a small automotive garage.I know I have it in me with a great business structure and I have a great team of professionals, but I have been unable to save any capital for it to even have a foundation.

It is very hard for a man with a family to pursue something like this without help.

I am from a small town in Tennessee, the average starting pay here is $7.00 per hour, I am tired of working for low wages and struggling with debt. Last year I worked for a small trucking company, and learned allot about the trucking industry, and of the money one truck can make. I also learned about hotshot trucking which carries low overhead and high earnings to the company. I would like to start a hotshot company , I could do this with as little as $15,000 my only problem is finding a lender. As a teen, I wasn't very responsible and as a result I now have terrible credit. I could repay this loan and create one job in the first year of creating this company, and of course I would create more jobs and expand rapidly over the years. Is there anyone out there that can and will help me? If so please contact me, neverdidit1@juno.com, thank you for your support.
