DG Repair | Application Preview
DG Repair is seeking government grant funding to support the expansion of its small, owner-operated repair business. The funding would be used to make critical upgrades to their aging building, including a new roof, energy-efficient HVAC systems, updated electrical systems, and new front windows and doors. They also plan to install a large overhead door to accommodate larger vehicles like campers. Additional funds would go toward hiring staff to increase service capacity, improve turnaround times, and free up the owner to focus on further business development.
As part of their growth strategy, DG Repair aims to expand its services to include custom building and remodeling for marine and motorcycle clients, and to increase off-season storage capacity, which currently reaches full capacity during winter. The business also plans to launch a mentorship program in partnership with the local high school to introduce students to careers in the trades.
Now in its fifth year, DG Repair has experienced strong growth and is positioning itself as a vital service provider in its hometown, where competition is limited and mainly located in the next city. Their customer-first philosophy, emphasis on quality work, and community-centered values set them apart in the local market. Grant funding would help them continue to meet growing demand, improve efficiency, and create new opportunities for local employment and education.

Funding Usage
Looking to expand the business and hire staff, install a large overhead door for camper and other large rig customers, we need a new roof, and front windows/doors, including improving our energy efficiency because it is REALLY OLD (ie HVAC systems as we have 3 separate ones in our building) as well as electrical upgrades on our older building as it costs us a lot due to inefficiencies. We are also considering adding more real estate to our business for additional storage opportunities for customers since we fill up in the winter months.

Business Plan
At DG Repair, we plan to grow our business by hiring staff since we are currently only owner operated at this time. We will have a quicker turn around service and this will allow the owner to focus on business growth, not just servicing the machines for customers. Our goal is to expand our services to include custom building and remodeling of both marine & motorcycles. We are also trying to expand our storage operations for customers for off-season storage as our current facilities fill up during our winter months and start including winter wrapping options for marine. We are one of the only small business repair shops in our town and immediate local area. We have a goal to begin offering a mentorship program with the local High School to introduce the youth into the Trades (mechanic) in the next 2 years if not sooner. Investors should invest in DG Repair because we are a motived, successful and community focused family business. We are in our 5th year of successful business and our rapid growth needs* are outperforming our expectations.
