Grants for Small Businesses

Rep. Carson is frequently contacted by small business owners and entrepreneurs across Indiana seeking start-up or operational capitol. Unfortunately, the federal government is not able to provide assistance to these businesses in the form of a grant. Low interest loans may be available, however, from the Small Business Administration. In addition, the SBA offers a range of valuable information about starting and managing a business, contracting with the federal government, and trends in business.
