No the Church will not generally help start a business. Some members may use contacts they make on Sunday to grow their business. What is available in some areas is an employment service which is free to employers. This will help improve a person's earnings.
In our ward we have a new member trying to start a machine shop. We have people with an expertise that have offered to help. The help is in the form of advice and an afternoon of work, but the Church isn't investing in the business.
In third world countries the Church has the Perpetual Education Fund. This operates on specific donations rather than tithes and helps members, particularly returned missionaries, to be loaned the funds to learn a trade or go to school. This will raise an individual to a higher standard of living. When they pay back the loans others can use the funds. This is a little like the micro loan program that earned the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Mormon's have their own welfare program and believe in helping people with their needs so they can stand on their own two feet. There is individual disgression between the bishop of the person and the person on what their needs are. I don't know if they help with business. I suppose to some degree, yes, though I don't think it happens very often. However, here is the order they want you to approach your welfare needs. 1. The family first. 2. If that doesn't work or can't be done, the church. 3. Then the state. Usually the church can help, and so #3 is hardly ever reached if your needs are reasonable.
I don't think they stand to gain anything except another person in the world who can stand on their own two feet. That's the goal. However, often if it is business realted I believe they would like you to pay them back once you are able to stand on your own two feet, and also to help others.
I am not certain on some of this information (i.e. your main question on business). You can email me if you want more info. I'll have answers by then. But I do know that if they do, they don't take any of the profits for themselves through that. They get enough from tithing (10% of increase for business, 10% of income for other jobs from the members of their church), which helps them build temples and meetinghouses and helps people go to college, etc. That 10% is not a business contract or anything, but it is something which members of the church in good standing pay (poor or not--they remember the widow's mite). You should look into it a bit more (maybe talk to a Mormon bishop or something).

the "Church" does not generally help you start a business, although the members of the church are well diversified and are typically willing to help in any way they can. There is a program in the Church to find work for those in need of work, provide help to those in need of food and basic needs, etc. Many people in the Mormon faith are successful business people, but that is generally because they are honest, hard working and value education. Good luck.

The secret really is : Why is blood required?. between the first issues God taught Adam and Eve even as they sinned change into to kill an animal and use that lack of existence (overlaying their nakedness with animal epidermis) to cover (atone) for his or her sin. God did not make a mistake in giving them loose will to make your ideas up on incorrect or precise.you won't be able to have authentic love except you could go with now to not. So God determined down the line He ought to ought to shed blood for the international's sins.yet how can God ,who's a spirit, die and bleed? He must be made a guy. So ,God the Son, determined to be placed in Mary. Now that change into peculiar years in the past yet no longer right this moment with our implanting embryos etc. So He change into born all God besides as all guy. As Jesus suggested " I actually have the means to position down my existence and the means to take it decrease back up.
