I would like to know do the government give money to foreign people to start a business.

If you mean by "give" it's "free" money, then the answer is a big NO.

Maybe you mean a loan? Or borrowed money? You can do that thru banks, credit union, or lending institutions. You have to pay it back of course.

Hmm....you mean like in the form of small business tax credits? Probably, but then that money isn't really given, it is more earned.

What is your plan, maybe we can help you achieve it

good luck

What is your status? Are you a green card holder?

The government does not simply give money away. At best, you may qualify for an SBA grant if you meet the qualifications. Even then, the SBA mainly gives out loans.

If they do let me know how to get some, I'd love free money to start my own business.

wait - free money ? well, sorta, if you qualify for a particular grant for particular business types based on gender and race. not easy to chase after, but there are set-asides and you have to write a lot .
