Just started a small aerial imaging business in a rural town in Northern California. I have filed my FBN, I have my part 107 and am operating a M2P. I have completed a couple of jobs but have had request for jobs that the M2P just cant handle. SAR with thermal for an example. Is there a good source for small business grants for drone operations. I want to use and be able to offer thermal imaging and potentially LIDAR to aid in SAR, wild fire management, fire prevention etc. The cost of the platform and payload to complete these types of missions is out of my range right now but if there is a grant that is available it would help me expand my services. I have heard that grants are available for community services such as CERT (community emergency response team) but my question is, if I join my local CERT acquire at sUAS with thermal imaging capabilities can I use that same drone for profit at my personal business?
