My husband and I want to start our own business. We wanted to know how to get a small business grant in New mexico. Anyone know?
It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for starting a for-profit business.
One possible exception is for companies developing or exporting agricultural goods, including food and forest product. Another exception could be the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/sbir/index.html , which fund the research and development of technological innovation that meets specific government needs.
Your best bet actually will be from the states if they offer grant programs for women (or any other special interest groups -- minorities, women, disabled, veterans, etc). Or check with non profit organizations, particularly women organizations if they offer grants. Examples include
Iowa Women's Foundation http://www.iawf.org/
New Mexico Women's Foundation http://www.nmwf.org/guidelines.html
Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/mostrequesteditems/CON_FAQ2.html
"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."
Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.
Here is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE'S NONE.
http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show
Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program
Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs
I suggest you read the following books to get ideas of how to finance your business:

Small Business Financing: How and Where To Get It http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0808007386/powerhomebizguid
Financing the Small Business: A Complete Guide to Obtaining Bank Loans and All Other Types of Financing http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1580626815/powerhomebizguid
The SBA Loan Book http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/158062202X/powerhomebizguid
Angel Capital : How to Raise Early-Stage Private Equity Financing http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471690635/powerhomebizguid
Financing Your Small Business (Barron's Business Library Series) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0764124897/powerhomebizguid
For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

Any helpful advice for opening small business in Mexico City?
Mar 11, 2008 by Nani Girl | Posted in Mexico City
I am interested in opening a small business, like a general store with groceries, snacks, beverages, serve hot food. etc. Maybe a computer to charge for internet use. Some magazines, etc. I speak basic Spanish. My husband is Mexican and has lived in Mexico City most of his life.
We will save money in U.S., then open the business in Mexico. Any suggestions on how to research this, how much money I need to open this? Any suggestions on what I should sell? Anyone have experience with this? Thanks.
Since there is a little mom&pop grocery on every block of most cities in Mexico .... just go in and take a look at the others. The Coke and beer distributors will give you coolers. Sanditas will give you racks for chips. You'll need fruit, veggies and dairy if you want to be a one-stop
The main issue will be location-location-location and a decent landlord if you can't buy

Advice for an american who wants to move to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and start a small business?
Jan 19, 2007 by mbaade | Posted in Other - Mexico
My business partner and I are planning to move to Puerto Vallarta and open a small bookstore/wine/coffee shop. Have just started researching laws about foreingers moving to Mexico to start a business. Looking for advice about opening a business in Mexico and any thoughts on Vallarta. Thanks!
Hola! I just moved back down here to start a business my self. I am working on the first stages of it at this point.
I am also Mexican by birth so I don't have to deal with that part of it. However I know that you can arrive as a tourist here and solicit your FM-3 once you are here. FM-3 it is a type of working permit issued by the immigration office.
I may be able to help with contact names and places to get answers to your questions: mexkimo@yahoo.com
They would let you also open a business that will generate work for Mexicans.
