I own a small business, in the family since 1928. I employ 8 people with families. Most have been with me 25 or more years. I pay all their health insurance. Business is very steady, however it's been hard catching up on bills since the economy tanked in 2008. Are there grants out there for a dedicated company like mine, to help keep all my people employed? In other words, to help my debt, or to purcahse material. Thank you

It sounds like you should be the perfect candidate for small business help: a solid track record and quite a few employees. You haven't mentioned where you live but there should be a business center of the Small Business Administration somewhere in your area. They can help you get everything in order if you want to try for a business loan guaranteed by the SBA, which would have a lower than average rate.

There are also some grants out there for small businesses -- though loans are much more plentiful. The best review we've seen of different programs available to help small business is here (Grants for Small Business).

Thank you very much for your response, I'll look into SBA tomorrow.
