Grants vs. business funding

A grant is money you never repay — which is exactly why grants are competitive, limited, and can take months to award. A business loan or line of credit costs money, but funds in days and is available to far more businesses. Smart owners do both: apply for grants for the long game, and use funding to grow now.
