What type of grant do you think you’d qualify for? Grants are extremely difficult to find and/or secure as most of the organizations – both public and private – that used to provide grants have lost lots of their market value in the past three years. It will take time for them to regain full value and be able to consider new recipients. Mostly, they support existing programs.

If you’re looking to finance anticipated order flow and inventory, a good SBA bank (that’s actually lending!) may be a great funding avenue for you, or possibly an angel investor who likes to hunt.

We strongly recommend investing a few bucks (excuse the pun related to your Huntin’ Buddy product!) in assessing your “market-readiness” using ActSeed.com’s Entrepreneur Group membership. This same scored assessment process will help you express your “ability to execute the plan” to investors. ActSeed’s community platform allows Entrepreneur Group members to search for investors in the ActSeed Investor Group.

Customers and investors gravitate to well-prepared companies. ActSeed’s sole mission is to help entrepreneurs like you assure you fit the definition of “well-prepared”.

Here’s a link to a free ActSeed “white paper” that outlines what a business owner needs to tackle to prevent being overwhelmed as you mention above: http://bit.ly/PrepMatters_WP

We wish you the best of luck and hope you’ll find ActSeed.com the resource you were looking for!
