why is minority business good for wisconsin?

Monday, February 20th, 2012

What makes minority business growth and success good for the state?

As compared to what? Who exactly do you think is a minority? What exactly do you propose to encourage this racist agenda? Why are you concerned about minority business and ignoring other categories of business? And most important: Whose benefit do you mean when you say "for Wisconsin"?

Wars start over clumsy questions like this. Is that what you want? I would counsel you to rethink your agenda and perhaps refocus it on something else.

does anybody know how or where i can recive minority grants for a small business?

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

im trying to open a small grociery store.

It’s a myth. A lot of bigots love spewing nonsense about how minorities and women get all kinds of government handouts to start a business, and do this and that, but it’s completely false. I’m sure, someone will post a link to this irrelevant website that supposedly has available government grants on it. And when they do, they should include the fact that 95% of those grants are expired, and the 5% still available are designated for scientific research or native americans, plus only 1-2 people actually get the grant, and it’s not designed for start-ups.

Anyway, the bottom line is that the government does NOT give out money to start a business. If they did, we would all have one. Best case scenario, your local city/town might have some kind of community development type of program, and if you create jobs, they’ll give you loans at discounted rates, but that’s really it.

Your only option is a business loan from a bank. You need good credit, and 30% down to get a business loan. Sorry, it’s reality.
