🚨 SBA GRANTS: BEFORE YOU APPLY, READ THIS!
I’ve had quite a few people ask me about SBA grants this week, so I did some digging. 👀

The SBA’s current grant programs are primarily for:

💻 SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research)
➡️ Technology
➡️ Software
➡️ AI
➡️ Medical innovation
➡️ Engineering
➡️ Research & development

🎓 STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer)
➡️ Similar to SBIR
➡️ Requires a partnership with a university or research institution

🏭 Manufacturing in America E2G Grant
➡️ Announced by SBA in May 2026
➡️ Designed for organizations that provide training and technical assistance to manufacturers
➡️ NOT for general business funding

🤝 PRIME & Entrepreneurship Support Programs
➡️ Nonprofits
➡️ Organizations helping underserved entrepreneurs
➡️ Microenterprise development organizations

🌎 STEP (State Trade Expansion Program)
➡️ Helps businesses export internationally through state-sponsored programs

Now here’s the part many people don’t want to hear… 👇

If you own a:

🚚 Trucking Company
🧹 Cleaning Business
💇🏽 Salon/Barbershop
🧾 Tax Business
🍽️ Restaurant
🛍️ Retail Store
🏠 Real Estate Business

…there’s a good chance these SBA grants were NOT designed for your business.

⚠️ Also, those screenshots showing “$20,000 Approved” or “$50,000 Approved” are often SBA-backed LOANS, not grants.

Having:
✅ An LLC
✅ An EIN
✅ A Business Bank Account
✅ A Website

does NOT automatically make you eligible for an SBA grant.

📌 Before applying, ask:
“Was this program actually created for my type of business?”

Sometimes the smartest business move isn’t applying…
It’s reading the qualifications first. 😅

❤️ Just trying to save y’all some time, frustration, and unnecessary inquiries.
