Smart Strategies for Small Business Grant Success

Traditional financing applications from small businesses have declined from 43% in 2019 to 34% in 2021 — suggesting a growing trend toward alternative funding sources. As Hello Alice data consistently ranks “access to capital” among the top challenges for small businesses, many owners are turning to grant funding as a strategic solution.
