Grants
For Women Entrepreneurs
Think!

Do a search on Google™ for grants for women entrepreneurs. Google™ will return links containing statements that should make you think twice about grants...

"... Grants never have to be paid back!"

What! No strings attached? Come on...

"... there are billions of dollars available for budding women entrepreneurs out there to take advantage of!"

I leave you to ponder who will be taken advantage of.

"... find grants to start your business."

Think! Do not ask for a grant before you can prove that you can make money without one! No amount of money will ever make you a competent entrepreneur.

Fortunately, you can acquire the required competence before applying for a grant. (More on this below)

You will have to prove to the granter that you and your business idea are a good investment.

Might as well prove it to yourself first, before attempting to convince a granter.

"... Most women fund their start-ups through loans, credit cards and personal loans."

Sad but true. It does not have to be this way. In fact, there is a better way to start on a firmer footing. (More on this below)



A grant?
Please!
Grant yourself the time to think things through.
Consider all alternatives. What follows will help.


Before Considering
Grants For Women Entrepreneurs

Please consider this before asking for a grant.

You will have to justify your request, when applying for a grant. You will have to prove that you have a financially viable business project.

Might as well find out for yourself first.

I recommend the
SBI 2.0
Business Building And Marketing Process
For Entrepreneurs
.

The process will ....

  1. Guide you in the necessary basic market research and analysis.

  2. Guide you in identifying who the competition is and how to overcome it.

  3. Guide you in preparing a business plan that does not require large sums of money to implement ... less than one dollar per day.

  4. Guide you in implementing a proven marketing process, without spending money you have not yet earned. And without costly and ineffective advertising either.

  5. Guide you with all the other necessary entrepreneur tasks and considerations.

The Granter Will Want Guarantees

You will have to prove to the granter that you know what you are doing!

What if you have never been in business before? Worse. What if you failed and want to try again.

SBI 2.0 will let you "test the waters in complete safety first" ... before taking the plunge into borrowed money territory.

With the SBI 2.0 Proven Marketing Process, there is a good chance that you will never need "third party" money. That's what SBI 2.0 is all about. But I will let you discover that for yourself.

Grant Yourself A Solid Entrepreneurial Competence

The SBI 2.0 Business Building Process For Entrepreneurs is specifically engineered to help you avoid having to resort to grants for women entrepreneurs.

  1. By helping you test the viability of your business ideas, safely, ... like airline pilots who train on simulators before flying a new type of aircraft.

  2. By helping you build a "loyal following" that will become your potential customer base.

  3. By helping build a real demand for the products and/or services you plan to offer ... before resorting to "third party" money.

Grant the people who belong to the market you are targeting
time to know you and trust you
before asking anyone for a grant.

Grants for women entrepreneurs should only be considered when ...

  1. you are already successfully in business

  2. and you need to expand because of unexpected and permanent rise in demand.

I know it seems odd. But it is the only way to stay out of trouble.
