The ClevaBiz Editorial Team
Who We Are
ClevaBiz is operated by a small editorial team that researches US business funding programs and translates them into clear, actionable guides. We publish under the shared name "ClevaBiz Editorial Team" — no individual author profiles, no invented expert biographies.
What we deliver: traceable research on federal grants, SBA programs, state economic development funding, government contracts, and SBIR/STTR programs. Every article links to primary sources — the program page, funding notice, or official agency database entry.
Our Source Standards
All factual statements — funding amounts, application deadlines, eligibility requirements, combination rules — are based on primary sources:
- SAM.gov (federal contract opportunities and grant notices)
- Grants.gov (federal grant listings)
- U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) (loans, grants, and startup programs)
- SBIR.gov (Small Business Innovation Research and STTR programs)
- State economic development agencies and business development centers
- Federal agency program offices (DOE, DOD, USDA, EDA, and others)
We don't cite numbers from memory. Before every publication, the program announcement is reviewed, the effective date is documented, and the article is marked with "As of: [Month Year]." Programs change — we update proactively when funding amounts or deadlines are revised.
What We Don't Claim
ClevaBiz is not a licensed grant consultant, financial advisor, or law firm. We produce editorial content. For specific application strategies, legal interpretations, and individual eligibility determinations, please consult a qualified grant writer, business attorney, or contact the relevant funding agency directly. Our articles do not replace a case-by-case review.
Why We Work Anonymously
We do not publish names, photos, or bios of individual team members. Funding guide content should rest on the research and primary sources — not on personal brands. The responsible party for editorial purposes is named in our Legal Notice. Corrections, tips, or questions reach us via the Contact Form.
