Sweetness and Soul | Application Preview
Sweetness and Soul is applying for government grants to fund a portable venue, enabling the business to travel to various shows and markets, which would increase revenue and allow for the hiring of another woman quickly. The plan includes launching a website to start taking orders as soon as it is operational.
The business aims to provide employment to 10 single mothers and women within the next five years, establishing both a portable venue for events and a permanent store locally. The mission emphasizes community support through job creation and donations.
The application argues for funding approval by highlighting the need for safe, healing work environments for women, particularly single mothers and domestic violence survivors. The company offers a supportive space for growth and opportunities that might not be otherwise available, ensuring a steady income even during slower periods.
While there are competitors, such as Walmart and private photographers, Sweetness and Soul believes its unique offerings and heartfelt approach set it apart. The business prioritizes quality and connection, positioning itself as a nurturing alternative in the marketplace.

Funding Usage
This amount would go towards a portable venue. Being able to travel to different shows and markets would bring in more revenue quickly. I'd be able to hire another woman very quickly. Also design a wesite and start taking orders the day it's up and running.

Business Plan
Within the next 5 years I want to have hired 10 single moms and women. The company would have a portable venue for shows and markets with at least one store here at home. Providing jobs and donating back to the community we live in. In this day and age women, especially single moms and domestic violence survivors need a place to work that allows healing. Creative strength and presurvarance in a world that doesn't seem to understand that healing takes time but that doesn't mean not working while it happens. My company gives women a work home and opportunities that some may never think they'd have. It is a constant state of revenue, even on slow season.

Self Identified Competition
My competitors are really there. But could be. Walmart sells art, cheap. But cheaply made too. Private photographers can be competitors with package deals. But they're expensive. My company is sweet and full of soul. We don't back down, because we have a family that counts on us.
