How do I know if given government grants for the needs of small businesses are free?

This is simple to answer because no government grants for small businesses are free because there are terms attached even though the money does not need to be paid back. There are small business grants for those just starting small businesses and need to train and hire employees, buy equipment, and the like, for instance. However, that does not mean they are free. There are also those for small business owners that have been around for a while, and need things to remodel, expand, or grow their operations. Grants are offered at national, provincial and local tiers. So, those for small business in each area may differ.
