About the Bizee Entrepreneur Grant Program
Bizee's Entrepreneur Grant Program was created to give entrepreneurs real support at the moment it matters most — before the business is off the ground. The program has 2 grants, each worth $2,500, and each includes a one-on-one consultation with a Bizee expert. One is designed for young students with entrepreneurial ambitions. The other is built for adults who are starting fresh or rebuilding.
Since 2004, we've helped over 500,000 entrepreneurs form and run businesses across the U.S. These grants are an extension of that mission — putting funding and guidance directly in the hands of people who are ready to build something.

Young Entrepreneur Scholarship Grant
The Young Entrepreneur Scholarship Grant awards $2,500 to one student with entrepreneurial drive, plus a one-on-one consultation with a Bizee expert to help map out a path toward business ownership. It's aimed at students who are already thinking about what they want to build — not just what they want to study.
To be eligible, applicants need to meet all of the following requirements:
- Be 19 years of age or younger

Fresh Start Business Grant
The Fresh Start Business Grant is for adult entrepreneurs who are starting over or starting from scratch. One recipient receives $2,500 in cash plus a package of business formation services — everything needed to get a new business legally off the ground. It's one of the more complete grant packages available for first-time business owners with no existing revenue.
The $2,500 award can go toward startup costs. On top of that, the grant includes:
- Incorporation services in the recipient's state
- Registered agent services for 1 year
- Annual report filing for the first year
- Bizee's tax accounting bundle

- Google Business Profile setup, if applicable
