2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, August 23, 2002

By 

Scott Koon (Rochester, MN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Government Giveaways for Entrepreneurs III (Paperback)

I bought this book to discover funding ideas for a business I was interested in starting. Unfortunately, I did not find the information I was looking for.

This book is not without merit, but it is not the information source its publishers advertise it to be. There is information for civic groups, minorities, economically challenged people, etc. However, there was not very much information for middle class Americans. I felt it would have been more honest to title the book "Government Funding Sources for Minorities, Economically disadvantaged, and State Goverments."

My advice would be to check it out at your public library first. If you find it useful, then buy it. Otherwise, keep looking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sets you in the right direction, April 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Government Giveaways for Entrepreneurs III (Paperback)

This book is not just a phone book of finacial assistance. It will also give you tips on how to get government loans and grants. It also preps you for what is to come when starting a busuness. Imagine walking into a test already knowing what the questions will be, that's how this book will make you feel. Although it does not always give you staight forward answers and some phone numbers are expired it still helps temendously. If you are a minority, a woman or a diabled veteran looking for a loan or a grant this book is for you

This book did NOT provide any good information for real business people trying to get money for their business. Save your money by NOT buying this!
