Free help from Uncle Sam to start your own business (or expand the one you have)

Business author William Alarid is telling all-revealing little known sources of free government help for small businesses. Everything from advice, counseling services and publications, loans, loan guarantees, financial incentives and much more, all free for the asking. Alarid has just finished updating the 4th edition of his book revealing 100 of his "secret" sources for getting free help from Uncle Sam. He gives the names, addresses and details on government sources that specialize in small business assistance. "Many small businesses are eligible for free assistance, services, even loans, and grants," says Alarid, "but they have no idea how or where to find this free help. Uncle Sam offers everything from advice to assistance for women business owners wanting to sell to NASA, to grants, loans, and financial incentives." Included in the sources are 100 government agencies that purchase from small businesses and government programs that offer financial help, services, export assistance, publications, free help for women and minorities, loans for teenagers, special help for handicapped business owners, etc., all listed with names, addresses, telephone numbers and descriptions for easy reference.
