DBA BRANDY LASHAWN SIMMONS | Application Preview
DBA Brandy Lashawn Simmons is seeking government grants to support various business needs, including product inventory, office space, website maintenance, supplies, taxes, advertising, and payroll.
The business aims to expand over the next five years by attracting more clients through consistent online advertising and social media engagement. Plans include increasing inventory to drive sales, launching a wholesale program, and continuing a seamstress program that addresses a local demand for such services. The business believes its skills and offerings will help them grow significantly in this period.
Approval of funding is encouraged based on the rising demand for personal seamstress services, with a focus on custom and unique styles. This aligns with a generational shift toward individuality in fashion. The business positions itself as a community investment and aims to sustain its presence long-term, capitalizing on a growing market.
In terms of competition, the main rivals include Better Fit Bridal Alterations, Hines Reweaving & Alterations, and Juliet's Pocket Squares. The funding would allow the business to secure a favorable location, enhancing access to local clientele, and to hire skilled professionals to improve service quality.
The competitive edge of the business lies in its diverse offerings, encompassing alterations, custom printed apparel, logo design for startups, personal designers for events, and custom jewelry. This broad range of services distinguishes it from competitors who focus more narrowly on specific garment alterations.
