Questions
What small business grants are open in Utah now?
The next deadline is December 7, 2026 for Small Business Digital Ready grants. One program takes applications at any time.
Can I get a grant to start a business in Utah?
Startup grants are scarce. Most listed programs fund existing businesses, exports, training or research, and several state options are loans. A few national programs, such as the Amber Grant for women-owned businesses, take newer businesses; check each program's rules on age and revenue.
Do I have to pay to apply for a grant?
No. Real grant programs never charge to apply or to receive an award. Anyone asking for a fee before you get grant money is running a scam.
