Funding Usage
This would be for startup costs. I have older equipment I have been using. I would like to get new equipment that is up to date, buy materials such as shirts and hats, as well as upgrade my website as it has been under construction since 2021. I had to basically start from scratch due to COVID and the lack of business.

Business Plan
Through the use of marketing and word of mouth, I plan to expand my business and grow a following. I already have a decent customer base that I have built over the past few years. As long as I keep operations running and dropping new releases consistently, I know my business will grow. I believe my company and brand will take off at exponential speeds once I reach the right people. I have already received compliments and comments about my products being unique and I aim to keep things affordable to the end user, which will in turn generate repeat customers. COVID was a small set back to me, and all I really need are a few tools to get things going again. My brand is everything I represent and I will stand behind it no matter what.

Self Identified Competition
I haven't recognized any immediate top competitors because I remain focused on my own brand and what I am doing differently. I haven't seen anyone really doing clothing like me and my mission statement is unique as well. What sets me apart from my competitors is that I have a story to tell and a message to send. I think a lot of brands out there just want to make things that look cool and sell clothing - that's the end of it. For me, it's about getting the point across, which is that no matter where you come from, you can always make your way in this world. Streetrooted means cultivating knowledge and striving for excellence using your very roots and background to lift you up even higher. Even if you come from the streets, you can still be someone incredible; never let your past and upbringing hold you down.
