In as much as I advise SMEs and prospective entrepreneurs to look for grants to aid their business/productions, there is also a need to caution them from applying for every grants.
Before applying for any grants, verify the organization issuing the grants. Many web designers today host many such websites to steal people's business ideas.

Many of them end up selling off your idea for personal gains.

"Do I have all it takes to implement this idea now, if not, when will I have them?" "Won't it be late to implement this idea in so so and so time?" Etc. Many times, it's difficult to run/implement two or more ideas at a time but through priority we can still achieve them all though at different times. It also prevent tying up of capital and that may even affect both businesses. In priority, it's best to do the easiest first or one in which one has more expertise or one better research. In priority, a schedule is also important. When we ask the necessary questions, it would help us know how prepared we are for every idea we intend to implement less we start and encounter problem not anticipated. Some ideas are best implemented now than allowing them to wait while some are bet...
