How can I learn more about this? Is it the EXIST program?

I looked into programs like this but they seemed to require so much bureaucracy that I'd be better off without them :(

I posted a bunch of links further downthread. There are also likely non-profit/public institution in your state that will help you navigate this. Of course they can't write the business plan for you :)
