Banks all across the U.S. Are tightening the purse strings making access to small business
credit more difficult. The housing market is the worst slump in over 30 years. Weekly
unemployment numbers aren't getting lower. International trade has slowed.

For small businesses, entrepreneurs and people who want to start their own businesses
as a kind of insurance policy against being given a pink slip in the near future - all of this
paints a gloomy picture. Especially for businesses that need business capital to grow or
expand.

"There is funding for small businesses available, and not all of it requires the traditional
funding method of going to your bank, hat in hand, saying, "Please sir, may I have a little
more." says Cheryl Antier, CEO of Dream Weaver Enterprises. "What many business
owners don't realize is that there are many creative sources of business capital available
to entrepreneurs, that come in form of small business grants, or government funded
programs where entrepreneurs can end up with exactly what they need or want."

Antier is hosting a no-cost teleseminar to answer questions and explain the many options
that entrepreneurs have for flooding their businesses with the business capital they need
so they're not just 'surviving' but thriving - even during the slow economic recovery.

During the teleseminar, she'll cover topics such as:

•Just one of many government organizations that provides up to a $10,000 small
business grant. This program has two main requirements, and one of them is that the
entrepreneur has been hit by the economic downturn. (This is an excellent program for
artists, writers, work-at-home moms, and people who will be sole proprietors in many
different fields.) She''l also discuss why, in this particular case, "less is more".

•Where small business owners can go to get help paying the salaries of additional staff
people, such as administrative or sales people. In most cases, up to 50% of the salary
will be covered for up to one year, and in some cases, the program will provide more
than one employee.

•How entrepreneurs can get funding for continuing education programs, to update their
computer equipment, buy a vehicle, or for things like inventory, equipment or other
needed supplies for their business. These are grant funds that do not have to be paid
back.

•Exactly where to go to get an attorney, accountant or other business advisor who will
work with you for free and help you in setting up or expanding your business. Also how
to find a top notch dream team of advisors sometimes from Fortune 500 companies or
others who will help you with specific business issues or questions - all for free.

•How to get cheap or free rent when you need meeting, office, retail or warehouse
space, along with office equipment and staff.

•And finally, she'll also touch on the new wave of funding methods that so many writers,
artists, small business owners and entrepreneurs with a new business idea are starting
to use that has nothing to do with traditional funding methods such as banks, venture
capitalists or angel investors - in fact, this is perfect for companies that don't fit the
traditional funding profile for those types of funds.

The teleseminar is free, and participants can even ask questions after registering, about
their own business situations, which will be answered during the program. Participants
also receive an interactive handout and can access a recording of the call after the
teleseminar is over.
