investors usually you can find from family or friends…otherwise applying for government grants

There is info on starting business each state differs. I am in the process of starting one up and checked out the government page for California but I also have investors.

Federal grants is hard to get approved best chance is private grants

You have to spend money to make money. Draw up a business plan and see if you can get a loan.
