Compound Films is for business owners because we understand that entrepreneurs are super heroes that create something out of nothing. The economy has not been friendly since the pandemic started either. So we wanted to compile a list of small business grants (Free Money) that you can apply for for free. We have applied for these grants also but it would be cool to know that our deserving clients won the free business grants. Details below.
