Welcome to the countrys largest and only collection of original applications for obtaining grantsloans, loan guarantees, tax credits, government contracts and services for your business.

Businesses and entrepreneurs now have a single source that identifies every eligible business money

program along with copies of official applications that can be completed and submitted for funding.

A One-Stop, Easy Way, To Obtain Free and Low Cost Money For Your Business

The countrys most famous, award-winning researcher, Matthew Lesko, has identified all the possible

federal funding available for businesses and entrepreneurs including:

Grants: money that you do not have to pay back

Loans: at interest rates below market or at market value, and from organizations seeking to hel

both established businesses and the first time entrepreneur

Loan Guarantees: to ensure that a bank will provide you with the funds you need, a governme

agency or non-profit organization will guarantee that if you are unable to repay your loan they wipay it for you

Government Contracts: better than a loan or even a grant, this is the governments largest

source of business money for any kind of business

Tax Credits: real dollars back on your federal taxes for performing certain entrepreneurial

endeavors

Free Services To Help You Get The Money: these government or non-profit organizations

specialize in assisting new or growing businesses get the financing and help they need.

Matthew Lesko is the founder of three successful information companies including one of thecountrys first information brokerage businesses. Lesko served as an information and government money

consultant to thousands of private clients including many of the countrys Fortune 500 companies. He has

written over 100 books on the money and information available from government and other non-traditiona

sources. Two of his books wereNew York Times Best Sellers and two received awards for the Best

Reference Book of the Year from the American Library Association. He also has written columns for

Good Housekeeping Magazine, The Chicago Sun Times, and theNew York Times Syndicate. You

may have seen him with his fancy glasses, bow tie, question mark suit, acting goofy on shows like Oprah,

Larry King,Letterman, Jay Leno, Home Shopping, C-Span, and The Today Show.

He is undoubtedly the most qualified person the United States to present all these little-known sources of

business money.

Who Gets This Money

Each year over 1,000,000 entrepreneurs and businesses use these government money programs to start o

grow their businesses, including big business and big time entrepreneurs like:

- Donald Trump

- H. Ross Perot

- Nike Shoes

- Federal Express

Before they entered the White House, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney took advantage of these

government money programs for their businesses. Theyre not dumb. They know where the money is.

While running Halliburton Company, Vice Presidential Candidate Dick Cheney received over $1.5 billion

from the U.S. Export-Import Bank and the Overseas Private Investment Bank to finance his overseas

sales. He also received over $2.3 billion in federal contracts during the 5-year period he was in charge.

Presidential Candidate Bush received $200 million worth of government money to build a new stadium

while he was in charge of the Texas Rangers baseball team. In five years this project raised the value of

his original $606,302 investment to $14.9 million.

But this money is not just for fat cats. Its also for people like:

- Blanca Basson, who received $30,000 to start a music jingle business in her home


5/226

- Keith Ross and Gil Rodrigues, who got $100,000 to start a coffee shop

- Michelle and Mark Levendoski, who received $35,000 to start their own exclusive hair salon

- Michael Williams, who received over $1,000,000 for his consulting business

How to Use Leskos Business Money Finder

Its not at all complicated:

1) Review each of the programs for those that may fit your needs

2) Print out those applications you feel are most suited to your needs

3) Fill out the application and send it in for your money

This Is Earth Not Heaven

If life was perfect, you could just fill out the applications, mail them in, and sit back and wait for the money

As we all know, few things in life are this simple or perfect. No matter what you are doing, life will contin

to put up hurdles and little glitches all along the way. If these obstacles werent there, then it wouldnt be

It would be heaven. And were not there yet.

Here are some things you can do that will cut down on the glitches, lower the hurdles and ultimately incre

your chances of getting the money:

1) Call First: This cant hurt. Try to get as much additional information about the program as you c

Talk with someone at the office so that you can get a name of someone to keep as a contact. Tho

who are most successful in using the system are those that are not afraid to do three things: Call.Call. Call.

2) Make It Personal: Remember its the bureaucrats at these offices who have power over the

money. The more you can personalize your application the easier it will be to get their attention.

Believe it or not, these bureaucrats are actually human beings. Think of it as being back in school.

Remember the good brown- nosers? They were the students whod meet with the teacher after c

and not only talk about school but would talk about their life. Show the teacher pictures of the fam

dog. Talk about how much they liked baseball anything to get the teacher to relate to them no

a student but as a person. Once the teacher sees a student as a person, its hard to flunk them no

matter how bad they are. Its no different with these bureaucrats. They have the power to pass o


6/226

fail you on your money exam. The more they get to know you as a person the more likely they are

help you pass the test. And they certainly have the power to help, because they are the ones who g

out the money. So when you are talking to them dont be afraid to talk about personal stuff along w

the professional.

3) How To Treat A Bureaucrat: When you are calling around to government offices getting a lot of

voice mail or being put on hold, its hard to remember how important that person is who finally an-

swers the telephone. Thats the person who can give you the money. So how well you treat them

determine your success or failure in getting what you need. If when the person answers the phone ystart yelling because youve been sitting on hold for the past 10 minutes, you dont sound like you a

going to be the highlight of that persons day. Remember, that bureaucrat gets paid the same amou

money whether they help you for free for two weeks or hang up on your right after you say hello. W

you have to do is try to get that person to want to spend time with you. You want them to enjoy

talking with you. The more comfortable they are in talking with you, the more likely they are to sha

inside information that will increase your chances and make it easier for you to get the money. Its

basic common sense things like: a) Dont be nasty when they answer the phone the first words

of your mouth can set the stage for the entire conversation. b) Dont act like you hate them for the

that they are sitting on the money (even though it may be true) because this will come through in you

conversation and they will not want to help you. c) Send thank you notes when people are excep

tionally nice because it is the best way to ensure that you are remembered the next time you call. can go on and on but simply put . TREAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.

4) Belly To Belly Cash Flow: If giving good phone increases your odds of getting the cash, then f

to face will do even that much more. This may not be practical or even possible all the time, but it i

certainly another way for a bureaucrat to put a face with an application and this will make it that mu

harder for her to just say no.

5) Dont Wait: I really mean this dont wait until the last minute to apply. Especially with those

offices that only give out money at certain times of the year. As deadline time approaches, the bure

crats can become too busy to provide you with any individualized help. So the best strategy is to c

early and call often.

6) Theres Always Next Year:Sure the government runs out of money. It happens every year. But

good news is that the office will get their coffers filled again for the following year. Thats why it is

important to remember that if you talk to an office and they say they have run out of money, ask the

when their fiscal year ends. Because the day after that you can call again. Thats the day they get

another years worth of money.

7) Get A Copy Of The Test Ahead Of Time: Wouldnt it have been great if when you were in scho

you had a way to get a copy of the test days before you took the exam? Well, its legal when you

getting government money. Under the Freedom of Information Act laws at the federal level and in


7/226


8/226

needs and have a better understanding of you and your project. Eventually, you can turn to the st

and finally go up to the federal government.

11) The Columbo Effect: There was a detective series on television back in the 70s and 80s called

Columbo starring Peter Falk. (Im showing my age here.) He was a sloppy person who always

wore a raincoat that looked like he slept in it. When he was interviewing suspects he always took

approach of being very humble even to the point of acting dumb and unassuming. By the end of th

interview, even as he was walking out the door and the suspect thought that she was in the clear,

Columbo would turn around and ask one more question that would cut right to the heart of the maand expose the suspect as the real criminal. Now, your mission is not to expose any bureaucratic

wrongdoing but you do want to ask one last question before you leave your conversation. Especi

if the encounter proved to be unproductive in getting the money you need. The question you have

ask while walking out the door is, Do you know of anywhere else to get money? Remember th

you contacted these people believing that they could help get you money, so if they dont have any

themselves it is certainly possible that if they have been in their business for awhile they may know

other colleagues or offices that run other money programs. Try to get them to stretch their imaginat

a little or even ask other people in their office. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

12) Maybe You Dont Need All The Money You Think You Do: Many people who are thinking o

starting or expanding a business believe that money will solve all their problems. But its not alwayso. Think about doing your business with just a little or maybe, no money at all. Anyone can do

things with a lot of money, but a true entrepreneur does it with little or no money. Its easy to spen

lots of money buying the latest hi-tech equipment and spending big money on advertising and then

hoping for the best. But can you get customers without spending money on advertising and then

borrowing someones equipment when you need it to do the work? Many businesses today only

require a phone and a business card to be in business. This is certainly true of service businesses

even many information businesses. You can be a web designer or a pet sitter and all you need is a

business card to show you are in business. The key to being in any business in getting customers.

Programs With No Applications

There are some money programs that do not have applications included on this CD ROM. These organiz

tions are mostly local in nature and insist that they personally meet with you before they provide you with a

application. Organizations with these restrictions are noted in their cover sheet descriptions.

It is important that you do not rely solely on the application file for identifying potential money sources. Yo

must also review the program descriptions to ensure that you are taking advantage of all the potential opp

tunities.

A Caution About Website Addresses

Our website address list in the descriptions of the programs may be lengthy because, when possible, we tr

give you the address that goes directly to the page that describes the program. If you have trouble using a

web site address or it appears to not be active, there are a number of things you can do before you start

searching on your own. You may be able to get there by not using the complete address. For example if y

put in www.choosemaryland.com/finance/medaaf.htm and you receive a notice that Page cannot be found

try putting in www.choosemaryland.com and work your way through the site to where you would like to g

Sometimes simply retyping the address in your web browser instead of clicking though an address in a doment will lead to success. These techniques should definitely be tried before you try to attack unruly searc

engines.

Theres Always More

We have dozens of the countrys best researchers working on this project and no matter how hard we try

will never capture every single program available. Though we are constantly updating to keep this material

current as we possibly can, in our society things change daily and even hourly. Just like your local telephon

book, as soon as this product is in print it is out of date. As a result, you may find a program that has been

cancelled since we updated your edition or there may even be additional programs that our researchers fai

to uncover. So keep an open mind. And enjoy the excitement of discovering that pearl that even the expe

are not aware of.

Happy Hunting!

Matthew Lesko

P.S. More is on the way. We are working on a project that will include applications for money programs f

state and local governments, non-profit organizations, venture capitalists, and small business friendly banks
