I am thinking of starting an Italian pizza/sub shop.where do I start?

Are there Gov.'t grants for starting such a business?

Answer:
Go to http://www.score.org/ to find the nearest SCORE chapter. Contact them to arrange for a free one on one meeting with a SCORE counselor.

SCORE is a nonprofit organization. They provide a public service by offering small business advice and training. .

SCORE's 10,500 volunteers have more than 600 business skills. Volunteers share their wisdom and lessons learned in business. The volunteers are working/retired business owners, executives and corporate leaders.

Go to http://www.grants.gov/ to see what grants are available, if any, and how you can apply for them
No, I don't think there are grants, but you should call your local chamber of commerce and see what kind of help they can offer. You know the food business is tough and most restaurants fail. What will be unique about your business. Best advice, do what all my cousins did. Buy into a chain. Unless you've really got a great recipe.
