Kweenz Kreationz L.L.C. is applying for government grants to obtain working capital for business expansion. The owner seeks to transition from operating in a garage to opening an actual store while ensuring adequate inventory to meet customer demands. Additionally, funds will support attendance at professional events for networking and sales opportunities.
The business plan outlines a five-year vision for establishing a storefront, enhancing marketing efforts, and growing the client base. The owner also aims to invest in equipment that will improve operations and profitability.

Business Plan
Within the next 5 years I intend to have a store, better marketing and a larger client base. I also intend to purchase additional equipment to enhance my business and increase profits. Investors should invest in me not only because I am a female, African American disabled veteran, but also because my business was created with customer's in mind. Each "kreation" is personalized with the customer's idea(s) every step of the way. I want to bring just a little bit of happiness to those who need it most, especially during the traumatic time we live in today.

Self Identified Competition
1) Amazon 2) Etsy 3) Shopify Those are 3 of the biggest websites where my competitors and others sell their goods. My point is, not only am I in competition with other sellers, I am also competing with online shopping. The difference between myself and my competitors is that first and foremost, I am the only ME. Second, all of my items are hand-made and personalized specific to each customer. No item from my store leaves the same as the last. Last and most important to me, there are no order forms or do everything online...my store has the "old school" personalized touch. I speak to my customers directly over the telephone not via chat on the web. The only aspect of my business that is done online is the payment, literally all other communication is directly through me.
