Funding Usage
I plan on using this funding to help grow my business. I would like to get a marketing source to get more leads. I want to pay the upfront yearly fee (Ex. Wedding Knot). Purchase another computer with more memory. I would like to run ads consistently, to drive customers to me. Purchase more marketing material to do vending for my company. I would be able to attend more networking events, that require a fee. By doing this, I have more chances of getting luxury clients. I will also use the funding to purchase business attire. I would also use the funds to maintain my website. If approved, I will also be able to attend the regional out of town meetings in person.
