Does anyone out there have any idea of what all he needs to do for the start of this. He is a great mechanic and jobs are scarce in this day and age. There are just not a thing out there. We are wanting to get started on this. We have a wonderful Idea and now we need to get started on it. Any suggestions, websites that do not cost anything and help, just anything?
      Answer1:Contrary to what some scam websites would have you believe, there arent government grants out there for people who want to start a business. So if a site says there are, and theyll help you find one, just pay them $300 or something, tell them to forget it - theyre just trying to scam you. Sometimes small business LOANS are available thru the government for some of the startup costs for a new business.To start a business you need to have a good part of the money yourself, either through savings or from loans from relatives or friends, or else enough collateral to get secured loans for the money you need.See grants.gov which is the official US govt grant website.Good luck.
