Feedback on grant/funding coaches

I am looking to start an educational consultancy and have been looking for grants to fund my start-up. I have been talking to a company that provides coaching services for securing funds for a business. They guarantee that they will work with you until you receive the funds you need. They want to charge approx. $8,500. My question is, has anyone had any experience with this type of coaching--is it a ripoff? Is is worthwhile? If not, can anyone offer suggestions for grants or any other funding for starting a for-profit education consultancy?

over the last few days has been a great eye opener. In short I purchased Grant
Seeker Pro (guide to government grants), and I was told that I needed to retain
a Grant writing coach for about $8,500 US dollars. After reading comments
posted I have decided to raise the capital myself, and work on the grant portion
myself. Thanks for your public commentary regarding your experiences. I hope to
learn more hear.f anyone has any information about rising
capital for for-profit origination, please let me know. I can go into grater
details. Thank you in advance. Bishop
Believe me - there are professional grant writers who can /will help you for less. A grant writer can`t "guarantee" you will receive a grant - but a poorly done application will guarantee that you don`t.
