Once I get government assistance can I decide where I allocate that funding to?

This is an interesting question as the answer may vary depending on the government fund that you apply for. Each government grant and loan program has different stipulations and conditions that apply. Some government funds may offer you the freedom to choose where to allocate your funds while others may be specific to certain areas. If you have already received a grant or loan, consider revisiting the paperwork to see what your stipulations are. If you are currently applying for financial assistance, be sure to search for a program that meets your specific small business needs.
