If you're looking for ways to go into business without going into debt, check out IdeaCafe's grants. On the main page, you can find a link for information on the Al Marks Inventive Mind Grant.

There's another area worth exploring under Business Grants Update - Free Money for Your Business. That link is also on the main page.

Try googling for grant information. For a search phrase, try "small businesses" grants. You could also add the name of your state to the phrase.

Good luck with your idea!
