Grants and Loans

RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGY GRANTS:

This program assists the small business community by providing grants (up to $5,000) to defray the cost of preparing federal research applications. If your company wants to pursue a small business innovation research (SBIR) grant from a federal agency, we are here to help your efforts. To receive an explanation of the program and receive an application form, call (888) 982-7232 or visit www.sbdcwv.org.

MICRO LOAN FUNDS:

Many very small and home-based businesses need loans so small that banks can’t afford to process the loan request. To meet these needs (up to $15,000), the SBDC has established micro loan programs throughout West Virginia. To find the micro loan fund program nearest you, call (888) 982-7232.
