ICAA wishes to warn clients to be aware of scam artists who prey on vulnerable entrepreneurs by seeming to promise the guarantee of securing a large grant by paying a "processing charge" or "application fee". Carefully investigate anyone who requests money to process a grant.

The Business Program provides assistance with business plan development, finance, accounting and bookkeeping, marketing and all other areas in which to get a business started.
