Starting and managing a small business in New York is not an easy task.

Although the federal government does not publically provide grants for starting and expanding a business, in New York, some small business grants are given to business owners to start and grow their ventures, and grant recipients do not have to pay back the funding from government. Therefore, it makes sense to look into small business grants as one of your sources to fund your business.
