Even the 1 business plan contest was expired by the time I received the application. I'm not aware of grants for private practices of any kind. Every private practitioner I know has begun this way, through trades, guerilla-marketing, and dipping into savings rather than selling a business plan. I agree that you're best off not incurring further debt. Rather, begin your practice on a part-time basis while deriving income from something stable.
