Linda’s Authentic Global Creations | Application Preview
Linda's Authentic Global Creations is applying for government grants to support its growth and development. The funding will be utilized for several key areas: scaling the business by hiring staff, increasing inventory, securing commercial space, completing LLC licensing, and investing in advertising and essential equipment.
The business plan emphasizes the need for additional help and equipment to boost productivity and product creation. Linda highlights her struggle to secure funding in the past due to a lack of employees and insufficient monthly profits, recognizing that growth often requires external support. Despite challenges, she persevered by using personal savings to keep her business afloat and believes that with the right funding, her business can create positive impacts for customers through unique art-based products.
In terms of competition, Linda identifies three main competitors who sell similar items but seem to attract larger customer bases. However, her competitive edge lies in her holistic approach—her products aim to transform negative energy into positive, enhancing users' experiences. Linda offers a range of items including concrete waterfalls for soothing sounds, natural body butters, aromatic candles, handmade soap, and crystal jewelry. Additionally, she provides motivational support through her social media presence, reinforcing her commitment to uplifting others.

Business Plan
I plan to hire help, purchase new equipment that would help me create more products faster and more productively. I would also purchase inventory and finish paying for my LLC license. I have been denied for so many grants and loans because I don’t have employees or I don’t bring in $10,000 per month in profits. I know as a business owner that growth requires help. Due to this I haven’t been able to scale my business up. The thing that funding sources aren’t getting is that the funding is needed for growth with most companies, especially when you just start if you want to hire help. This causes some business to shut down including myself. I just never gave up and used my savings to reopen. I can’t give up and I know that if I receive funding anyone who does business with me will be a better person afterwards. That’s what I do I use art to transmute energy into beautiful creations that alter our energy’s from negative to positive or enhance already positive energy.

Self Identified Competition
My top three competitors are women who sell some of the same products I sell. PeechezzJones, Butters by LaLa, and Jade butters. They have great products and seem to have more customers than I do. What makes my company different is that I don’t just create products I create products that alter the energy around anyone who uses them. My company uses art to transmute negative energy from negative to positive, or simply enhance positive energy. I use concrete to create concrete waterfalls that give you the effect of ocean sounds or rain. I create body butters for the body but with all natural ingredient. I carry aromatic candles, and homemade soap. I create crystal jewelry and sell crystals. I also offer my time and energy free to simple help others stay motivated. I use my social media presents to be a positive influence.
