Provided a service for finding companies who would offer grants to smaller companies in the range of $100K-$1.4M. Required a down payment of $3750 to begin and an additional $3750 once you've received one-half of your requested funding. Guaranteed to continue searching until a grant was found. Would provide assistance in web design and business plan writing for the grant. Had to submit a Profile which discussed the business and how the funding would be used. Said they were doing about 20 or so searches per month. Would not give any referrals siting confidentially agreements. Signed up for a $800K grant in June. Received a call in August asking about the profile. Tried calling them back in September at various times during the day and evening.initially could only get voicemail. Sent email requests for a reply but no call backs or emails. Finally in October the 877 number was always busy and the direct line was 'not in working order'. Fax number still answers and website still functioning. Submitted a complaint to the BBB in September but have to wait 30 days for a response.
