Additional Information for Business Funding Services, Inc.

When deciding to do business with companies that offer grant services, you may want to read some of these useful tips the BBB has outlined:

Generally, obtaining a grant is a complicated process, requiring documentation and research. The vast majority of grant-making foundations require that applicants for funds meet very specific guidelines that the foundation has established, and that the funds be used for specific projects that the foundation wishes to support.

*Organizations do not usually give out grants for personal debt consolidation, or to pay for other personal needs. Grants are usually given only to serve a social good, such as bringing jobs to an area, training under-employed youth, preserving a bit of history, etc.

*Be wary if you are asked to provide money up-front to an unknown company before the company will provide the services promised.

*Companies cannot guarantee that you will receive a grant.

*Always remember to check out any company you plan to do business with by contacting a regional or state economic development office to see if they know of grant programs for which you might qualify.

*Visit your public library. Ask a librarian to help you find reference books describing foundations and the criteria they use in awarding grants.

*If you are having financial problems, there are local non-profit credit counseling services who may be able to assist you with your problem at no charge.
