Grants and Scholarships

Are there any small business loans or grants out there that I don't have to put money upfront myself?

I am looking to open a small business in the town of Globe, Arizona. I am 21 with most likely crappy credit or none. I already know states have business grants or loans where you match the funding up front, but I am looking for a loan or grant where I don't put anything up front. And i'm really only looking to get at the max 200k.

1. I don't know of any loans that don't require at least something up front, usually 20%. Lenders want to be sure you have a motive to use their money wisely, and to see a return on their investment. Grants are hard to find, and even harder to get, so don't even worry about them.
2. Go to grants.gov/ and follow the instructions. You will find that unless you are in basic research, there are no grants for a small business.
