I still remember staring at my computer screen that Friday afternoon, my stomach in knots. Payroll was due Monday, and I was $23,437 short. My personal credit cards were maxed, and the business line of credit was tapped out.
15 employees were counting on me. Good people with families and mortgages.
Sound familiar?
If you're like most business owners I work with, you've been there too. That desperate juggling act of using personal credit cards and high-interest loans just to keep the wheels turning.
Here's the crazy part: While you're stressing about making payroll, your competitors might be getting hundreds of thousands in government funding you don't even know about.
I discovered this by accident when I met Steve at a local chamber event.
His business was similar to mine - around $1.2M in revenue, 12 employees. But while I was drowning in credit card debt, he had just secured $127,000 in government grants.
"Wait, what? Government grants?" I asked, nearly choking on my coffee.
"Yeah man, there are literally thousands of grant and funding programs out there," he said. "Most business owners never even apply because they don't know they exist or think they won't qualify."
That conversation changed everything for me. Here's what I learned:
- There are over 2,500 federal and state grant programs specifically for small businesses
- Most require NO equity, NO personal guarantees, and NO repayment
- The average approved business gets between $75K-150K in funding
You likely qualify for way more than you think. The application process is actually pretty straightforward with the right guidance
The best part? You can find out exactly what you qualify for in about 2 minutes.
I've made a quick funding calculator that shows you:
- Which grants you're eligible for

Look, I know what it's like to lay awake at night stressing about cash flow. To feel that pit in your stomach every time payroll approaches. To watch growth opportunities slip by because you just don't have the capital.
But it doesn't have to be that way. The funding is out there. You just need to know where to look.
Take 2 minutes right now to run your numbers through our calculator. You might be surprised to discover just how much funding is available for your business.
