Welcome to the country’s largest and only collection of original applications for obtaining grants,loans, loan guarantees, tax credits, government contracts and services for your business.Businesses and entrepreneurs now have a single source that identifies every eligible business moneyprogram 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 country’s most famous, award-winning researcher, Matthew Lesko, has identified all the possiblefederal 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 helpboth established businesses and the first time entrepreneur

Loan Guarantees: to ensure that a bank will provide you with the funds you need, a governmentagency or non-profit organization will guarantee that if you are unable to repay your loan they willpay it for you

Government Contracts: better than a loan or even a grant, this is the government’s largestsource of business money for any kind of business

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

Free Services To Help You Get The Money: these government or non-profit organizationsspecialize 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 thecountry’s first information brokerage businesses. Lesko served as an information and government moneyconsultant to thousands of private clients including many of the country’s Fortune 500 companies. He haswritten over 100 books on the money and information available from government and other non-traditionalsources. Two of his books were New York Times Best Sellers and two received awards for the BestReference Book of the Year from the American Library Association. He also has written columns forGood Housekeeping Magazine, The Chicago Sun Times, and the New York Times Syndicate. Youmay 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 ofbusiness money.

Who Gets This Money

Each year over 1,000,000 entrepreneurs and businesses use these government money programs to start orgrow 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 thesegovernment money programs for their businesses. They’re not dumb. They know where the money is.

While running Halliburton Company, Vice Presidential Candidate Dick Cheney received over $1.5 billionfrom the U.S. Export-Import Bank and the Overseas Private Investment Bank to finance his overseassales. 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 stadiumwhile he was in charge of the Texas Rangers baseball team. In five years this project raised the value ofhis original $606,302 investment to $14.9 million.

But this money is not just for fat cats. It’s also for people like:

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

- 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 Lesko’s Business Money Finder

It’s 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 continueto put up hurdles and little glitches all along the way. If these obstacles weren’t there, then it wouldn’t be life.It would be heaven. And we’re not there yet.

Here are some things you can do that will cut down on the glitches, lower the hurdles and ultimately increaseyour chances of getting the money:

1) Call First: This can’t hurt. Try to get as much additional information about the program as you can.Talk with someone at the office so that you can get a name of someone to keep as a contact. Thosewho 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 it’s the bureaucrats at these offices who have power over themoney. 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 who’d meet with the teacher after classand not only talk about school but would talk about their life. Show the teacher pictures of the familydog. Talk about how much they liked baseball — anything to get the teacher to relate to them not asa student but as a person. Once the teacher sees a student as a person, it’s hard to flunk them nomatter how bad they are. It’s no different with these bureaucrats. They have the power to pass or

fail you on your money exam. The more they get to know you as a person the more likely they are tohelp you pass the test. And they certainly have the power to help, because they are the ones who giveout the money. So when you are talking to them don’t be afraid to talk about personal stuff along withthe professional.

3) How To Treat A Bureaucrat: When you are calling around to government offices getting a lot ofvoice mail or being put on hold, it’s hard to remember how important that person is who finally an-swers the telephone. That’s the person who can give you the money. So how well you treat them candetermine your success or failure in getting what you need. If when the person answers the phone youstart yelling because you’ve been sitting on hold for the past 10 minutes, you don’t sound like you aregoing to be the highlight of that person’s day. Remember, that bureaucrat gets paid the same amount ofmoney whether they help you for free for two weeks or hang up on your right after you say hello. Whatyou have to do is try to get that person to want to spend time with you. You want them to enjoytalking with you. The more comfortable they are in talking with you, the more likely they are to shareinside information that will increase your chances and make it easier for you to get the money. It’sbasic common sense things like: a) Don’t be nasty when they answer the phone — the first words outof your mouth can set the stage for the entire conversation. b) Don’t act like you hate them for the factthat they are sitting on the money (even though it may be true) because this will come through in yourconversation 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. Ican 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 faceto face will do even that much more. This may not be practical or even possible all the time, but it iscertainly another way for a bureaucrat to put a face with an application and this will make it that muchharder for her to just say “no”.

5) Don’t Wait: I really mean this — don’t wait until the last minute to apply. Especially with thoseoffices that only give out money at certain times of the year. As deadline time approaches, the bureau-crats can become too busy to provide you with any individualized help. So the best strategy is to callearly and call often.

6) There’s Always Next Year: Sure the government runs out of money. It happens every year. But thegood news is that the office will get their coffers filled again for the following year. That’s why it isimportant to remember that if you talk to an office and they say they have run out of money, ask themwhen their fiscal year ends. Because the day after that you can call again. That’s the day they getanother year’s worth of money.

7) Get A Copy Of The Test Ahead Of Time: Wouldn’t it have been great if when you were in schoolyou had a way to get a copy of the test days before you took the exam? Well, it’s legal when you’regetting government money. Under the Freedom of Information Act laws at the federal level and in

most states, successful applications for government money are available for view to the public.Remember this is taxpayer’s money they’re giving out, and as a taxpayer you have a right to see howthey are spending it. It may not be the easiest thing to do but under the law you can get them. Thecaveat you may run into is that the agency has the right to block out those portions of the applicationsthat may reveal confidential information about the applicant, like detailed financial information. Youmay want to weigh the benefits of having such a document against the hassle of the procedure forgetting one. One way to help you decide is by carefully looking at the questions on a blank applicationand trying to understand how seeing a completed one might help. Many applications require only thatinformation which is so personal to you that seeing others may be of no value at all.

8) Bad Credit Can Make You Eligible: Remember this is the government and a lot of things just don’tmake sense. We are not here to explain why some programs exist, we are here simply to show youthat they do exist. And it’s true, there are programs that are set up for entrepreneurs to get money tostart a business if they have less than stellar credit. Actually many government programs have beenestablished primarily to serve people who can’t get money elsewhere. Yours is not the reason why,yours is just to apply.

9) “No” Doesn’t Mean No: The older I get the more I believe that the only time “no” means “no” is insexual harassment cases. There are times when bureaucrats will say, “no, you don’t qualify”, or “no,we don’t give money for what you want to do”, just because it’s the easiest thing to say or they don’treally know what they are talking about. A few years back. Steven Stern, a young man from Boston,saw me on the David Letterman show telling the audience about a government program that givesmoney to teenage entrepreneurs. He contacted the appropriate office and they said that he could notapply for the money because it was only for teenagers who lived in small towns and Boston was notconsidered a small town. Steven tracked me down and asked what he could do. I wasn’t sure, butsaid that before you give up get a copy of the programs literature. When he got the literature he readit closely. It certainly said that the money was indeed for teens in small towns, but a separate line alsostated that it was for teens who wanted to start lawnmower service businesses. That was exactly whatSteven wanted to do. He contacted the office and after he told them what their own literature said,they gave him the money. And that $2,000 he got to start a lawnmower service business earned himover $10,000 a year to put himself through college. A “no” may also be changed to a “yes” becausean office may be trying to get rid of more of their money towards the end of their fiscal year becausenot enough people have applied for it. Or a “no” may become a “yes” because the official misunder-stood the real importance of your project or is simply not creative enough to understand how to bendthe objective of your project to meet the objectives of the money program.

10) Apply Everywhere: If you’re not sure exactly which program to apply to, then apply everywhere.The worst thing that can happen is that you get too much money! That’s a nice problem to have. Youcan always give it back. You can also take the approach of thinking nationally but acting locally. Keepin mind that there are federal programs you can eventually turn to, but start applying at the local levelfirst and see how you do. The local level is where officials are going to be more sensitive to your

needs and have a better understanding of you and your project. Eventually, you can turn to the stateand finally go up to the federal government.

11) The Columbo Effect: There was a detective series on television back in the 70s and 80s calledColumbo starring Peter Falk. (I’m showing my age here.) He was a sloppy person who alwayswore a raincoat that looked like he slept in it. When he was interviewing suspects he always took theapproach of being very humble even to the point of acting dumb and unassuming. By the end of theinterview, 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 matterand expose the suspect as the real criminal. Now, your mission is not to expose any bureaucraticwrongdoing but you do want to ask one last question before you leave your conversation. Especiallyif the encounter proved to be unproductive in getting the money you need. The question you have toask while walking out the door is, “Do you know of anywhere else to get money?” Remember thatyou contacted these people believing that they could help get you money, so if they don’t have anythemselves it is certainly possible that if they have been in their business for awhile they may know ofother colleagues or offices that run other money programs. Try to get them to stretch their imaginationa little or even ask other people in their office. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

12) Maybe You Don’t Need All The Money You Think You Do: Many people who are thinking ofstarting or expanding a business believe that money will solve all their problems. But it’s not alwaysso. Think about doing your business with just a little or maybe, no money at all. Anyone can dothings with a lot of money, but a true entrepreneur does it with little or no money. It’s easy to spendlots of money buying the latest hi-tech equipment and spending big money on advertising and thenhoping for the best. But can you get customers without spending money on advertising and thenborrowing someone’s equipment when you need it to do the work? Many businesses today onlyrequire a phone and a business card to be in business. This is certainly true of service businesses andeven many information businesses. You can be a web designer or a pet sitter and all you need is abusiness 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 organiza-tions are mostly local in nature and insist that they personally meet with you before they provide you with anapplication. 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. Youmust also review the program descriptions to ensure that you are taking advantage of all the potential oppor-tunities.

A Caution About Website Addresses

Our website address list in the descriptions of the programs may be lengthy because, when possible, we try togive you the address that goes directly to the page that describes the program. If you have trouble using aweb site address or it appears to not be active, there are a number of things you can do before you startsearching on your own. You may be able to get there by not using the complete address. For example if youput 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 go.Sometimes simply retyping the address in your web browser instead of clicking though an address in a docu-ment will lead to success. These techniques should definitely be tried before you try to attack unruly searchengines.

There’s Always More

We have dozens of the country’s best researchers working on this project and no matter how hard we try wewill never capture every single program available. Though we are constantly updating to keep this material ascurrent as we possibly can, in our society things change daily and even hourly. Just like your local telephonebook, as soon as this product is in print it is out of date. As a result, you may find a program that has beencancelled since we updated your edition or there may even be additional programs that our researchers failedto uncover. So keep an open mind. And enjoy the excitement of discovering that pearl that even the expertsare 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 fromstate and local governments, non-profit organizations, venture capitalists, and small business friendly banks. Tosee if the programs for your state are available, contact us at www.lesko.com or 1-800-955-POWER.
