Grants for a personal profit company are very hard to get but anything is possible...Grants are more geared towards companys that give back to the community....You may be better off applying for a small business loan from a bank.

My blog has a blog about ways to find your business. One is on obtaining grants. The federal government has an easy to use website now at grants.gov

There are many different granting agencies. First write a business plan that includes how your company will have a positive effect on your community.
