Every year, federal and local governments allocate billions of dollars in the form of non-repayable grants and interest-free loans to support American businesses. The main objective is to facilitate growth and prosperity in the economy by encouraging investments and continuous innovation.
There are thousands of grant programs available, all with varying funding amounts, criteria, and timelines. Most grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis—making it critical to align your planned projects with the most lucrative programs available. Unlike tax credit incentives, grants require you to apply for funding before you incur any costs, as you must pre-qualify to receive funds. Your planned investments will be reviewed. Once approved, funding is awarded.
To best determine the right grants for your planned initiatives, Ayming has simplified the landscape by mapping the programs into five key categories:
1. Business growth
2. Capital purchases
3. Research and development
4. Hiring and training
5. Green and clean technology
