  • Get a Small Business Grant to Help Purchase Your Walk-in Cooler or Freezer

    April 20th, 2009 Walk-in Freezer

    Being “green” and “energy efficient” are big advertising buzzwords today.
    But besides the benefits to the environment, there are definitely good economical reasons for “going green“. There is a HUGE potential for savings on your next electric bill (you can check government-grantsout our walk-in energy savings calculator). However, investing in new efficient equipment like walk-in freezers, furnaces, or stoves often present too much of an up front cost (even if they would pay for themselves in energy savings in a few years) so the purchase is delayed as long as possible. Think you can’t afford that new refrigerator or ice machine? Maybe you can with the help of your state government.

    In this political environment there are many grants available for small businesses, especially when it comes to making your business more energy efficient. The following is a list of websites where you can find and apply for grants in your state (most are linked to the state’s business website but some are linked to specific energy grants). There is also an online government grant and loan search available. Different grants have different requirements and payouts (for example, some will require you to reduce energy usage by at least 20% and the state will foot 25% of the equipment bill).

      FYI folks – nearby govt network has worked out that district councils could in fact face central grant cuts of 58%, unitaries 50% & counties 44%. Public sector cash is thinning out.
