C&M Cooling Services | Application Preview
C&M Cooling Services is seeking government grant funding to enhance their operations and address current challenges. The funding will be utilized for stocking essential parts, materials, and equipment, allowing them to move away from a reactive purchasing approach. They aim to acquire a new vehicle to replace an unreliable one, fund advertising efforts to attract new customers, and reduce existing business debt.
The business plan focuses on expanding their reach through increased advertising, enabling them to take on new construction projects that would necessitate hiring additional employees. They believe this growth will significantly benefit the company.
C&M Cooling Services presents a compelling case for funding approval by emphasizing their status as a small, family-run business that stands out in a competitive HVAC market. Their commitment to personal service, integrity, and fair pricing is highlighted, with the owner, a veteran, expressing a desire to pass the business on to his son, who is also dedicated and trained in HVAC.
Despite the overwhelming competition in Florida, C&M prides itself on the personal connections they build with customers, many of whom have remained loyal for over ten years. Their competitive edge lies in their attentive, family-oriented service, which differentiates them from larger companies that may not provide the same level of care and consideration. This strong community connection and reputation drive their business largely through referrals.

Funding Usage
We would use the funding to stock parts, materials and equipment which we are unable to do right now, we buy on an as needed basis. A new vehicle purchase to replace our current vehicle which is having problems. To be able to fund advertising which would allow us more incoming business. To relieve some of our business debt as well.

Business Plan
We would like to be able to advertise more to expand our business and get our name out there. We would like to expand our business to be able to take on new construction which would require us to add employees and add substantial business to our company. We would like to be able to add employees which would allow us to take on more of that work. We feel that we would be an excellent investment as we are a small family run business in a very competitive market but we offer what big businesses do not. We offer a personal touch, integrity, honesty, personal service and fair pricing. I am a veteran of the first Gulf war and I run my business with my youngest son who went to school for HVAC and is a honest and hard-working young man, Who I would love to turn the business over to and have him take it for the next generation. We always go out of your way for every customer and treat everybody as if they are our own family, going above and beyond where bigger companies cannot or will not do that. We are closely knit with our community and through the years most of our business has been by word of mouth because of our reputation.

Self Identified Competition
It is hard to list our three competitors because in Florida there are literally thousands of HVAC companies right in our county. But again referencing the above paragraph, because we are small we run our business very personally and give everybody our undivided attention on every call. Again what makes us different from our competitors is the fact that our family runs this business and therefore all of our customers are part of our family. Some of our customers have been with us since we started 10+ years ago and they continue to refer us to other. Some of our customers we have we take care of not only them but their entire families. The difference with our company compared to other HVAC companies is that you will get personal, caring, fair customer service, and we will go out of our way to make sure our customers are satisfied.
