AP Advising LLC | Application Preview
AP Advising LLC is applying for government grants to acquire essential equipment, products, and software needed for the business's growth. The owner aims to leverage social media, word of mouth, and client referrals to build a loyal customer base. Currently operating in a small office, the owner envisions expanding into a dedicated building in the future.
The owner emphasizes their determination as a first-generation business owner, having relocated from Arkansas to Texas in search of better opportunities. With a strong desire to educate and support those around them, they seek funding to make a positive impact on their community, particularly as a minority who understands the challenges many face.
The business takes a unique approach by not viewing other businesses as competition, instead focusing on delivering exceptional service and being the best in their field. Their competitive edge lies in starting from scratch, with no external support or funding. The owner draws upon their nine years of experience in the Air Force and embodies its core values—Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do—to guide the business. These principles will ensure the business operates with the highest standards.

Business Plan
I plan to use social media, word of mouth and client referrals to generate lasting customers. I am currently located in a small office space however, in the coming years, I see myself in my own building. I am educated, articulate, ambitious and approachable so people are already open to speaking with me. Technology plays a huge role in the growth and development of today and I plan to use the platform to my advantage. I should be awarded funding because I am a first generation business owner with the drive of multiple people combined. I have little to no support because I uprooted myself from my comfort zone which was in Arkansas and moved to Texas for more opportunities. I am passionate about what I do because as a minority, I know what it feels like to be ignorant when it comes to specific avenues in life. I want to educate and assist anyone I come in contact with so their lives are better now and their future generations are also better. It only takes one risk taker and in my family, I am that one.

Self Identified Competition
I do not look at anyone as competition. I am simply going to be the best at what I do. My business is different from the next because I am literally starting with nothing. No support, no funding, no guidance, nothing at all. I did all the research on my own and started the business by myself. I am currently still serving in the Air Force and my free time is always limited however, I found time to turn my passion into a product in order to educate and assist others. I will use all the skills I've learned over the course of these nine years within the Air Force and apply them to my business. In the Air Force, we live by three core values which are; Integrity First, Service Before Self and Excellence in All We Do! I've lived and breathed these three values over the past years and my business will be nothing less than the core values.
