Is applying for government small business grants free if I fill out the application online?

You may indeed be able to fill out many government grants program application forms online for free. Increasingly more grants are being listed entirely online, and no longer requiring the submission of paper applications, removing the costs of materials and postage. However, submitting the applications is not necessarily the most difficult part, as you also need to be certain you qualify for any potential grants and that you complete any necessary information on the application. With some grants, you may even be required to write a proposal. So, you should be aware.
