Hi!
I just opened a small salon and I need a little startup cash to help grow my business. I got a call from Les Turner and Milly Cole after filling out the information online at www.freegrantsfromthegovernment.com Phone number [protected].

I don't think that you should have to pay 99.00 for "software" to help you fill out a grant application when they told me I should have a business plan made up by a CPA.

He asked for my CC# and I told him I would need to call him back. I was also given the [protected] toll free number.

Total SCAM!

Beware! The last thing you need when you are obviously looking for government help/monies is to be scammed out of 100 bucks!

Good luck!

ABSOLUTELY A SCAM FOR THE WAY MOST PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO USE GRANT MONEY.

I spoke to 2 representatives at freegrantsfromthegovernement.com (One was Cathy Brown)
When I asked for references from previous clients I was told that would be impossible.
When I asked for them to verify licensure via a state or federal agency I was given the run around.
When I started asking pointed questions about types of grants for our business I was put on hold and hung up on.
I called back and spoke to a different representative to question them about the types of grants available and he had no real information for me. I then decided to research on my own directly with the government.
Here is what I found out:

First of all, federal grants ARE NOT GIVEN TO SMALL BUSINESSES.
Second, if you want to apply for a grant, you can do so freely and obtain FREE ASSISTANCE direct from the government.
go to www.grants.gov or call [protected].
You can also visit www.sba.gov and read up.
I was told by representatives at both sba.gov & grants.gov that the only grants given are to those entities that better the public welfare.
for example: schools, police stations, fire stations, various municipal entities, educational institutions etc.

There are several companies out there doing business selling software. I have seen this companies programs and they are very well thought out. A CPA will charge a hell of a lot more than $100 to write a business plan. This program contains the databases, and the business planning software all in one. I think the original author was just a little skittish that is all. Certainly understandable in this climate.

As a representative of the company in question (www.freegrantsfromthegovernment.com) it’s our position that Ms. P. has got it wrong. In the quest for financial assistance we have all heard about the opportunity our government provides in the form of grants and government loans. Almost everyone has heard about them but not many have ever learned about them or the process it takes to be awarded one. We’ve taken all the information about how to obtain a grant and put it all into a single package so the average person now has a chance in understanding the process and getting some funding. One can spend 16 hours+ trying to figure out what-to-do and possibly still get it wrong. This convenience is also backed up with support from the company by telephone and email.
I’m pretty sure our sales representative didn’t say to use a CPA to write a business plan since that is a large portion of what our package provides for business owners. We even provide examples (4) of writing a business plan and the software to do so. IT IS NOT JUST FILLING OUT AN APPLICATION WITH YOUR NAME, PHONE NUMBER, AND HOW MUCH $ YOU WANT. There is a process and there are differences in requirements for applying to different ones. Do it on your own or do it with some help of company that has already helped you by producing a package along with support after purchase. I’m sure it has worked for many people.
Ms. P. has not purchased this package and therefore has no real input on how this package can work for YOU.
