B.A.E. LLC | Application Preview
B.A.E. LLC is applying for government grants to support their art-focused business. The funds will be used for various purposes, including prepaid office rent, renovations, and essential equipment such as Cricut and Silhouette machines. They aim to enhance their workspace's appearance and acquire supplies like blank canvases and resin molds. Additionally, they are planning to build a website and engage local youth through art initiatives, offering opportunities for students to showcase their work and potentially earn school credits.
The business's plan emphasizes growth by exploring new artistic techniques to serve a broader clientele, including hotels, schools, and small businesses seeking custom decor and items. They also intend to expand into clothing and accessories featuring their logo.
B.A.E. LLC argues that despite being a small business with only two employees, funding would enable them to hire local young talent, thus providing a safe and creative environment. They believe that their handmade products offer a unique value compared to mass-produced items available in retail stores. Their primary competition arises from social media platforms, but they recognize a significant need for increased advertising and equipment to enhance their operations and visibility.

Business Plan
The goal is to constantly look for new techniques that will allow us to take on larger clientele. Hotels, schools and small businesses alike (such as small restaurants, airbnb homes, art galleries and offices) that may have a need for decor and/or business owners looking to personalize items for employees or (In the case of schools) teachers and students. We will also be moving onto clothing and accessories with our logo. Although we are only a business of 2 employees we would love to expand and hire the younger generation in the community that have hidden talents and provide a safe space for them to do something they enjoy. Art is one of many universal languages just as music. An investor would absolutely be able to see progression and a positive impact especially locally.

Self Identified Competition
Most competition is seemingly from social media.. we really have a need to pour more into advertising and equipment to do what we do best on a larger scale. Anyone can purchase art or home decor from a large retail store.. Each one of our pieces are handmade and we actually put in the work and time personally.
