Hello I'm looking for a chinese restaurant to purchase in chicago, Il.
How should i attempt to look for one on the internet, because I've been having alot of trouble looking for one. In addition I want to verify if the rumor of government giving out grants to starting business is true or false.

Regards,
Ken

Search in google with specific keyword terms or search in Google Business center.

You can also look in your local newspapers classified section under "businesses for sale" or the local CB Richard Ellis, other company real estate companies

I guess if you can't find any listed on classified sites or in newspapers you could just start contacting some from the Yellow Pages. Don't come across as too keen but just let them know that you are in the market.

Be careful with small business grants as there are a lot of scams out there. Check the Small Business Administration (SBA) website - try to go direct to the source to get reliable information. They are available but it is a bit of a process applying and you may find that it's not worth your time unless you've got a unique plan and are able to give back to the community etc

find a realtor. Also look into any and all strip mall developers, perhaps buy used equipment especially at a auction.
