A & A Monument Services | Application Preview
A & A Monument Services is applying for government grants to enhance their business operations. The funding will be used to purchase a trailer for transporting equipment and an etching machine for engraving monuments.
The company plans to shift its focus from just cleaning and resetting monuments to selling them and etching death dates. This expansion will include hiring more employees and establishing a workshop for monument production.
The need for funding is emphasized by the rural area's limited income levels. A & A Monument Services has built a solid reputation for quality work at reasonable prices, making it accessible for local residents. They offer flexible payment options, ensuring that customers can afford necessary services without financial stress. The business aims to create job opportunities in an area with few employment options.
In terms of competition, A & A faces minimal rivals in monument cleaning, while only two competitors exist in monument sales, one being significantly far and expensive, and the other offering limited options and unsatisfactory service. A & A's dedication to quality and customer satisfaction gives them a competitive advantage, alongside their commitment to expansion that will further benefit the local economy.

Business Plan
We plan to expand our business from cleaning and resetting monuments to begin selling monuments and etching death dates on monuments. We plan to add more employees. We plan to purchase an etching machine, add a workshop to make monuments, and buy a trailer to haul equipment. We live in a rural area where people have limited income. Our area really likes us and the work we do. We charge a more reasonable amount for our work, and people know we will do the job right. We also work with the customers on payment so they can get the needed work done without having to worry about all the cost right up front. We will be providing jobs for people in our area where there aren’t many jobs to get.

Self Identified Competition
Currently on the cleaning we really don’t have any competitors in our area. Selling monuments we have two competitors. One competitor is located over an hour and a half away from us, and are expensive. The other competitor only offers a few options on monuments, and many have not been satisfied with their work. We pride ourselves on doing the job right at an affordable cost. We use high quality products, and spend our time making sure the customer is completely satisfied. We have a plan in place for expansion that will provide more services, and more jobs for our economic deprived area.
