      It is highly unlikely that you would find a grant to start a small business.

      If you've got a great idea for a web site, make it happen on your own.

      Write out your business plan and then estimate how much money you will need for the basics, such as:

      • Hosting
      • URL
      • Graphic design
      • Etc.

      Once you dig in, you'll see that it costs WAY less to start an online business than a traditional business.

    I dont want to be negative, but chances of getting grants or investors in this economy and in ".com's" is going to be nearly impossible.

    A better approach would be to find people who have the skills that you do not have and partner with them. There are all kinds of things you can do to make money to fund your business, but dont wait around hoping to get grants.
