Financial Opportunities: Funding Opportunity Exchange. The Department of Energy is making available up to $9 million for roughly 50 energy efficiency and renewable energy projects through the Department’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, which help small businesses develop technologies with a strong potential for commercialization and job creation.
SBIR and STTR programs are funded by federal agencies with large research and development budgets that set aside a fraction of their funding for competitions among small businesses. Small businesses that win awards in these programs keep the rights to any technologies they develop and are encouraged to commercialize them. The programs help small businesses bring innovative technologies to market that help spur economic growth and diversify the nation's energy portfolio. This FOA marks the first time that the Department of Energy (DOE) has issued three Phase I solicitations in a single year. 1.

A successful business always includes a good business plan. A new agricultural enterprise needs to produce profits to be worthwhile for the farmer.
In order to assess if a new crop or product, like organics, will work for your business you'll need to "run your numbers" and flush out the details by preparing a sound plan. The process of developing a business plan allows entrepreneurs to spot risks and pitfalls in a new idea and determine the profitability of that idea. In addition, lenders and funders may require a business plan prior to financing your operation. An agricultural enterprise budget acts as a financial decision-making matrix wherein the farmer inputs all costs and returns to determine the profitability of a crop or livestock enterprise. Although enterprise budgets are only estimates, they provide an idea of what a farmer can expect to make when producing and selling a new crop.
