Funding Usage
The funding will be used to accelerate growth as I advertise and market the business more and will also have the ability to contract work out to different contractors. I will also use the funding to explore opening a physical office. A physical office will give off more of a professional and business atmosphere and will help fuel growth.

Business Plan
I plan on offering more services to potential clients including IRS representation as well as CFO services. I plan to grow the business to over 5 employees so I can put much of the administrative work down and focus on business operations. This will allow me to focus on our current clients more intensively and also allow me the time to look for more clients. I plan to help every small business owner learn to maximize their profits through utilizing the tax code. I started this business with the intention to help as many small businesses grow as much as possible. My business is all about service to the community and can with the right funding, I can expand my services to more business owners who are looking to save more of their hard earned money by spending less on taxes. I am a hard working individual that will uphold his company to the highest standards of moral and ethical conduct and will look to be an example of what leadership looks like in the community. With the proper funding, I can expand this business to help more Texan businesses grow and become more profitable.

Self Identified Competition
My top competitors will be the brick and mortar tax locations that are widely known, such as H&R Block, as well as online tax services such as Turbo Tax and then of course the last would be fellow small businesses like myself. I plan to compete with the first two, major brick and mortar locations and online services, by offering personal and unmatched customer service as well as knowledge. My target market is small business owners and usually their taxes are complex enough that hiring a personal tax pro will be their best option. My other competition is other small business tax pros like myself. I plan to offer superior and expert knowledge in the field as well as unmatched customer service to gain a competitive advantage over this competition. Social media is also a strong resource of mine as I have a relatively strong following from the information I post to educate my followers. What makes my business different from the competition is a combination of knowledge and expertise combined with top notch customer service. I am a hungry business owner that is ready for the opportunity and will jump on a project with excitement before my competition will. I genuinely want to help small business owners grow and help the community flourish.
