I agree with everyone recommending you check in with your local SBA office. Regarding the application of small business grants or financing, it really depends on how soon you're looking to get started. Applying for a business grant could take a considerable amount of time before the grant comes through, it never hurts to apply for a grant as well as financing. At least, you'll have taken steps to get yourself up and running.

You have to remember, just because you applied for a grant doesn't mean you'll be approved. So it's always a good idea to be prepared, one way or another.

Before your hired they will due a UA , and then a criminal background check, and then if you pass that. then they will see if you can actually clean a room and the you will need to be bonded and put on probation for some period. If you work out good with the hotel, your given a certain number of rooms to do each day and your now working.
