Skittles, there are also business grants that women can apply for. I've done it, but it's really been a hassle.

DON'T pay exorbitant fees for the paperwork, though! One place that I talked to wants $295 for showing you how to fill out their forms!

Another place I sent away for a CD but my 'puter won't open it. I think customer service is in China, too. No lie! Hard to understand what they're saying and worse, almost impossible to make yourself understood!

In the long run, you do pay for these "free" grants.

If I ever get onto their site or get the CD to work, I'll give you as much info as I can.

Good luck with your endeavor.
