Markethink Studios, LLC | Application Preview
Markethink Studios, LLC is seeking government grants to expand its operations and support other small business owners. The funding will aid in developmental activities such as traveling, advertising, and facilitating networking events. The owner plans to purchase her deceased aunt's well-maintained home to establish it as a home office. This property has potential for upgrades which could elevate its value, providing a conducive workspace.
The business focuses on helping local businesses that lack an online presence develop websites. By reaching out to potential clients, particularly those who started small businesses during the COVID pandemic, Markethink Studios aims to generate revenue through website maintenance and updates. The owner intends to leverage advertising methods such as Groupon and local fairs to attract clients and promote specials.
The grant funding will enable the owner to assist fellow small business owners, fostering community growth and helping improve customer satisfaction. She emphasizes a community-oriented mission and aims for personal and professional growth, particularly to secure a future for her children.
In terms of competition, Markethink Studios will be up against established websites like GoDaddy, Wix, and Squarespace. However, the target market comprises many new business owners unfamiliar with setting up online platforms, especially in light of the pandemic, where many restaurants also require an online presence for takeout and delivery.
The business's competitive edge lies in offering personalized support and quick assistance with website issues, along with insights on marketing tools and online visibility for a reasonable price. The focus on direct, accessible communication sets her apart, aiming to help fellow local business owners thrive.

Funding Usage
To grow business, reach out to other small business owners like myself that need help. Traveling, advertising, host/attend social networking events and pay an expense I occured as a personal representative for my deceased aunt. Probate lawyer has notified what is needed on my part so I can purchase my aunt's home and keep it in the family as a home business. She loved her home and didn't make any changes the whole 30 years+ when she first bought the home. So much potential for a model/upgrades to flip for a larger profit. Small investment for a big, well taken care of home that has a wonderful floorplan to also use as a workspace.

Business Plan
I target local businesses that don't have a website to promote their business. The more clients I can obtain, the better chance I can gain additional revenue offering to maintain and update. Covid allowed many people to begin their own small business, many many local potential clients. I would also utilize groupon, local fairs and advertisement for specials. Please help me, a small business owner, grow to assist as many owners with their businesses as well as making their customers happier buyers. Your investment will be a ripple effect, your charitable deed will touch more than one person as we all fight to survive and strive during this pandemic. I want to help my community not steal or be greedy. I am an overall modest person with some desires but having kids and sick parents, I want to security, personal growth/achievement that can also help my children when their adults and when I'm no longer here.
