Is a business plan the same for a grant as if you were doing a loan?

We Answered:

You need to read the grant carefully and be sure to provide the information they ask for in they way that they want it. Proposals for grants are unique to the specific grant being applied for - there is no 'universal' form.

I suspect you don't actually have a specific grant you are applying for.

Keep in mind that grants to start businesses are just hype. The only official US government grant site is http://www.grants.gov and you can search there to find an example of what grants are available, and what information they require if you find one for which you are eligible.
