Posted by Molly Nelson - Looking to your state or even local community may be a good bet for financial assistance for your small business.

This Entrepreneur article notes that while aid may be slow coming from the federal government, some states and local areas may be able to help small businesses with funds from the stimulus or from nonprofits and other organizations.

In addition, the NASE's Business Development Grant program will begin accepting applications for 2010 awards on February 1st, so be sure to apply if your business could use a little financial boost!

While I'd certainly recommend exploring any sources of assistance the best way out of this tough economy is by knowing what works to attract new clients which is why I recently released,

Meet the NASE Staff Bloggers

Keith Hall - My official title at the NASE is COO, which I think is Latin for “do what everyone tells me to do.” I’m also behind the NASE TaxTalk program, although I often feel like I’m under the NASE TaxTalk program. One of my favorite things to do is laugh, second only to making a difference.

Molly Nelson - I help out with the NASE’s legislative advocacy, communications, and public relations. From attending hearings on the Hill to helping select the cover design for the member magazine, I’ve always got something new going on. I like practicing yoga, running through different parts of the city, and I’m an admitted etymology/grammar nerd.

Kristin Oberlander - In public affairs, my job is to serve as a link between the association, micro-businesses and the media. When I have down time, I enjoy drinking large quantities of coffee, contemplating how I will cram one more pair of (un)needed shoes into my closet and finding creative ways to remove my dog’s hair from my clothes, car, own hair and food. My biggest pet peeve is drivers who don’t understand 4-way stops.

Maureen Petron - I cover communications for the NASE, which means everything from the member magazine to programs like our achievement award and college scholarships (yes, I actually get to show up like Ed McMahon with a big check twice a year!). In my fantasy world, I’d be a master chef, wine snob and fast runner.

Kristie Arslan - I head up the advocacy efforts for the NASE, thus I spend most of my time on Capitol Hill educating legislators on how key issues such as health care, tax, and the lagging economy affect the self-employed. When I am not running around trying to convince policymakers to pay attention to micro-business, I spend my time singing nursery rhymes to my daughter and helping my husband with his small business.
