Coker Family Enterprises LLC | Application Preview
Coker Family Enterprises LLC is seeking government grants to establish and grow a locksmith business across several key locations, including Savannah, Waycross, Valdosta, Thomasville, Bluffton, and Albany. The funding will be allocated to purchasing necessary equipment, hiring staff, setting up advertising, and providing training for employees in locksmithing.
The business plan involves utilizing major interstates and trade routes to reach a wider customer base and securing government contracts at military installations. The company aims to build a strong social media presence through excellent customer service, which will be reflected in positive reviews.
As a 25-year retired Army veteran, the owner emphasizes a commitment to honest and fair service, planning to hire similarly minded technicians. The competition includes established players like PopALock, Sandfly Locksmiths, and Bradley Lock and Key Shop, but Coker Family Enterprises intends to stand out by offering significantly lower prices and higher service quality, especially for high-end vehicles. Additionally, by being licensed in South Carolina, the business will expand its reach to Bluffton and Hilton Head, tapping into underserved markets.

Self Identified Competition
PopALock is a nationally recognized chain. They are highly regarded in the Savannah Area. Does not venture into the rural area. Sandfly Locksmiths is a local company that has mobile service and has been in service in Savannah for a decade. Bradley Lock and Key Shop. They are the longest standing shop in Savannah. They are well trusted because of Thier longevity. I am going to blow Thier prices out of the water. I currently work for Middle GA Locksmith in Macon, GA and our Lockout prices alone are $100 to $80 cheaper. They also do not go to the towns I am going to manage. I also will offer a higher skill level and service Mercedes, BMW, and Fiat which many Locksmith Companies do not have the equipment nor knowledge base for. I and my employees will be licensed in the state of South Carolina so we can additionally operate in the Bluffton and Hilton Head areas.
