Hazy Days Candle Collection | Application Preview
Hazy Days Candle Collection is applying for an $8,000 government grant to fund essential supplies for the business, including candle jars, wax, wicks, packaging, and personal protective equipment. The grant will enable the owner to replace broken inventory and maintain stock levels to meet customer demand.
The business plan focuses on sustainable growth and preparedness for potential emergencies while enhancing marketing efforts to attract a larger customer base with competitive pricing. The owner aims to build business credit to minimize reliance on loans or grants in the future.
The owner emphasizes their commitment to the business as an 8-year veteran dedicated to serving the community. They assert that the funds will be used wisely and will contribute to increased profitability without frequent requests for further assistance.
In terms of competition, Hazy Days faces challenges from established brands like Bath & Body Works, SimplyScents, and Randle Candle. However, the owner believes their competitive advantage lies in exceptional customer service, networking capabilities, and the determination to manage the business independently, having turned down offers from competitors to sell their products. This approach reflects confidence in their ability to succeed and grow the brand effectively.

Business Plan
My plan is to continue establishing my business by saving way more money, being prepared for any possible nation wide emergency or possible pandemic. I plan to market myself appropriately and utilize the tools for my business that can essentially prevent my business from failing. I will not allow my business to lack any inventory and create a huge customer population that will engage with the affordable prices of my business. I will also establish more business credit that can prevent me from having to utilize any type of loan or grant for my business. Investors should invest in me because I am a 8 year veteran that dedicated so much to the country. I only want to grow my business and help consumers enjoy each and every product that is established through my business. Investors should also invest in me because I will not be repetitive with asking for funds. I will gracefully receive the investment and make it last longer and increase the profits through conducting business.

Self Identified Competition
1. Bath & Body Work 2. SimplyScents 3. Randle Candle These are my 3 top competitors that have many of similar products that I possess. Investors should invest in me and not my competitors because each one of these establishments have been afloat much longer than me. I may be a rookie in the industry, but my delivery with having great customer interaction and networking in society cannot be matched. My sales can exceed and products can remain immaculate through this investment. Also, each competitor has requested that I allow them to sale my products for a percentage. I humbly denied each offer due to my belief in me and I can profit off of my own hardwork.
