      I am a 54 year old woman whose husband left after 20yrs. of marriage, and thats not even the bad part. He left me with nothing...long story. Thing is, I have no formal education to get a job that will actually support me. I want to start a food service business, buy a food catering van and go from place to place selling food items. What I need is, info on how to go about getting a grant/loan to get it started. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

          Hello Food Service Girl,,,great name for a business.... Don't, don't look at yourself that you don't have an education. You have the best education that money can buy and that's life. If you ever sat down with yourself and wrote a resume of everything you've done in life. It would be a 5 page resume. As an SBC(Small Business Consultant) if there is an industry that you want to go in. Work in that area. Call companies that do catering services. Tell your boss you want to open your own catering service company. Let me tell you, you will get so much help. You won't know what to do. I've been on cragslist and they lots of cheap things that you can buy. I eve saw like pot & pans in good condition for under $20.00 bucks... Start there and work in a catering service business. Like that you can learn the ropes... Good Luck & You can do it!!

          Contact your local small business administration.  They often have offices at your local community colleges. 

          Best wishes
