Funding Usage
This money will go to my expenses and keeping my cost of service low. I keep my cost of service low because I work with small businesses most of the time. Some small businesses can not pay the full amount at one time, I help out as much as I can. As for my expenses, they are the following; utilities, advertising of my business services, vehicle expenses, office equipment, supplies, dues, and subscriptions. I will also be trying to obtain new certification and licenses renew such as Google partner and my Part 107 Licence.

Business Plan
Most of my recent clients have come from word of mouth. The more I help clients out the more they will advertise my company for free. Within the next few months, I would like to get certified by Google as a Partner. The budget I will get will tell the world I have the experience and skills to help them. Another certification I would like to get is my WordPress Certification. Like being a Google Partner this will also tell the world I can help you build a website. Although I already know how to create ads effectively and create websites beautifully, certifications and licenses help sell the business. As a Part 107 Drone Pilot, real estate agents would prefer their aerial photographers to have this license because not only does it show they know how to fly the drone but also how to follow the FAA rules. In the next few years I would love to update my hardware; laptop, drones, and camera. This will help me surpass the competition. Lastly, I would like to start adding employees to my company. By adding employees, I will be able to start doing much more work and helping a lot of more small businesses. It all started with helping a friend create a few graphics for the college we were attending. My passion for helping others helped start my business. This passion can be seen at every event I create for business, logo, or website. If you ask any of my clients I'm more than sure they will give a glowing review of my company. This money will help me help small businesses. I do the most to shop locally and give the same money I earn to local businesses that have helped me on my journey. LaunchPad TX is here to help.

Self Identified Competition
There is not a company like mine within a 200-mile range. Yes, some create websites, some help with graphics, and some help with social media marketing but my company is unique in the sense that it is a 'one-stop shop' for all businesses who need help. My clients are happy to know they do not need to look for some who will create a logo for their company, then find someone else to help market for them, and someone else to help create a website. As for my competition, they are as follows; PearlRoads Media Group, Cobalt Digital Marketing, and The Monitor. As I mentioned before my business is a one-stop-shop for multi-media. Some of my competitors are only limited to a specific field. LaunchPad TX understands that not all businesses can afford some of the services, so we help as much as we can with the budget they have. We are also flexible on payment, if it helps the client be on a payment plan then that's what we will do. We try our best to help as many small businesses as we can.
