Wild West Weebs | Application Preview
Wild West Weebs is seeking government grants to enhance its marketing efforts and expand inventory, aiming to boost in-store traffic and better cater to customer needs. The funding will be used for broader advertising and improved signage, which the company believes will attract more customers to their location.
The business aspires to grow with multiple locations and establish itself as a leading name in the anime community. With a solid business model, the founders are confident that with the right funding, they can achieve significant growth within five years.
The team consists of two young entrepreneurs with relevant educational backgrounds and a passion for anime. They believe they are filling a gap in the market by offering a unique shopping experience for anime fans, which they feel is currently lacking.
In terms of competition, there is limited direct competition in their area, with the main online competitor being Chalice Collectibles. However, Wild West Weebs positions itself as a niche specialty store dedicated specifically to anime collectibles, providing a focused experience that many generic stores do not.
Their competitive advantage lies in their commitment to catering to anime enthusiasts by offering the latest products, while competitors often play it safe with broader inventory. The founders have seen rapid growth, achieving half a million in revenue within their first year, demonstrating strong market demand and a promising future.

Funding Usage
We will use the funding to increase of marketing presence through wider advertising and adding proper signage to the store and surrounding areas to increase walk in traffic. Since we opened with minimal capital we have been constantly playing catch up with inventory. With a bulk sum dedicated entirely to inventory the traffic we receive from our new advertising will more easily find what they are looking for.

Business Plan
We wish to expand with more locations and become a premier name in the anime community. Our business model is profitable, with the appropriate capital we can accomplish a lot in 5 years. We are two charismatic, business oriented young men with higher education (Finance degree & Criminal Justice) that are passionate about our products. The experience we are creating for anime fans is like nothing available today, we know, because we have desperately searched for it and it doesn't exist. So we have decided to create it.

Self Identified Competition
There isn't much competition in this market specifically in our area. Online the closest thing to competition would be another collectibles store Chalice Collectibles. However, we are a specialty collectibles store focusing on anime, so we are tapping into a market that is ours to create. The difference is that we recognize peoples passion for anime and we cater to the latest anime while competitors stay generic for fear of not appeasing the masses. The excitement around our store has been overwhelming and we are growing faster than I could have ever imagined. We have grown into a half a million revenue company in under a year.
