E's Place 85-2936625 | Government Grant Application

E's Place | Application Preview

 

E's Place is seeking government grants to fund essential repairs and upgrades, as well as continued education. The applicant intends to spend less than $500 on two educational classes that could enhance revenue. The business owner has a five-year plan to buy out the building owners and modernize the cafe and the three residential units above. Discussions with the current building owners have already been initiated, as they infrequently visit due to distance.

The owner emphasizes her dedication and hard work, having built a successful business in just two years while being a single mother. She is motivated by past experiences in the industry, where her skills were recognized but not adequately rewarded. The owner employs and inspires her staff, aiming to create a culture of motivation and reliability in a challenging labor market. She has been exploring product lines for her spa and identified a partner to manage costs effectively.

Despite being relatively new to ownership, the owner has five years of industry experience and access to valuable guidance from experienced peers. The customer base exceeds current capacity, motivating expansion plans. The business has a distinctive competitive advantage, as the nearest comparable competitor is over 15 miles away. E's Place has consistently been recognized as a top establishment in the county for five years and has seen a significant sales increase due to the closure of nearby competitors.

E's Place stands out for its friendly, inviting atmosphere, combining multiple services under one roof, such as tanning, nails, eyelashes, massages, and a café, making it a community hub for all ages.

  • Funding Usage

    I am trying to make some repairs, upgrades and take a couple continued educational classes if possible- less than $500 for my 2 classes I would like to do which will bring more revenue.

  • Business Plan

    I plan to buy out the building owners within 5 years to take over the building as well as the 3 tenants above the shop. I would like to modernize the whole front half of the cafe when I own the building. Ive already spoken to the building owners about this take over from them as they live so far from the property, they only visit a couple times a year or upon emergency repairs. so ideally i would like to own it myself and update everything in my business as well as the exterior and the units. I am the most dedicated, hard working mother around. Most of my friends and family are impressed and so proud of everything Ive built and grown in just a couple of years. Companies Ive worked for always gave me reviews on how much of an asset I am to them, but never compensated well enough so I kept building my own skills and knowledge and kept saving to open my own shop and make my own dreams come true. I employ staff and continue to educate and motivate them to grow as people and employees. In todays society, it is so hard to find people that are reliable, or motivated, or dedicated to things. I have already been dabbling in creating my own product lines for my spa and found a great partner for that. We can purchase supplies for under $1k to get that going to be able to save on cost during services and make the most bang for my buck. I know I have only owned my shop for less than 2 years, but have been in the Industry for 5. Ive learned alot from some spectacular people, and still have these people in my circle to lean on for guidance. our customer and clientele base is exceeding our capacities, I would like to add more members to my shop in due time, first I need to take steps to get there. its all drawn out on my dream board and list of goals to knock out. My heart and determination is growing faster than ever before, if you can't dream it, you can't achieve it.

  • Self Identified Competition

    That is the joy of my shop and location. Our closest competitor even close to being comparable is over 15 miles away. Our shop has and is still voted the best of the county in 3 catagories for the past 5 years. I have some customers that travel over an hour just to see us. 2 tanning salons have closed in this county this past year, which boosted sales by 76% avg. there are 3 Tanning Salons In our County 1 which is mine, but our shop again also has, nails eyelashes, massage and its a coffee shop/cafe. A major hang out spot for everyone of all ages. Like I stated above, there truly isnt anyone like us. You cannot find a shop as friendly and inviting like ours, were that hometown ma n pop vibe with its own unique twists and fun and joy to our community.
