I am a stay at home mom right now, and am looking at starting a graphic design/print shop.  Are there grants available to me so that I can do this without putting my family finances in total jeopardy?

I am in the works of starting up a small business in custom design, embroidery and alterations.  I have some of the equipment, but do need some additional things and my resources are tapped out.

I have already purchaced a commercial grade sewing machine and serger, dress form and many patterns, and some embroidery pattern disks.  However, I need the embroidery machine (Brother PR600) It retails for $10,000 but I found a slightly used one online for about  $6,000, but the bidding closes September 16th. Theses machines, used, are hard to come by.  I also need a laptop, digital camera,  printer and eventually more embroidery design disks.

I know I can make this business a success, I just need some help getting the equipment I need.

Thank you.
