Soul Flower LLC | Application Preview
Soul Flower LLC is applying for government grants to enhance its operations by purchasing essential technology and marketing materials. The funds will be allocated for an i9 computer to handle multiple software applications required by clients, as the current setup is inadequate for the workload. Additionally, a high-volume printer and scanner are needed to address ongoing issues with their current equipment, which cannot support multi-page scans or high-volume printing efficiently.
The business provides administrative services including expense tracking, maintenance coordination for rentals, contractor management, office organization, and document assistance. Soul Flower LLC aims to expand its services to support low-income and immigrant families who often lack the skills to navigate administrative tasks and bureaucratic processes. The founder, a first-generation American whose family immigrated from Uzbekistan, understands the challenges these populations face and seeks to be a vital resource in the Columbia, MO area.
While there are companies offering translation and educational courses, Soul Flower LLC distinguishes itself by providing hands-on, step-by-step assistance to clients during frustrating and critical administrative tasks. The founder's personal experience and commitment to helping others set the business apart, addressing a unique need in the local community.

Funding Usage
I am planning to use the funds to purchase an i9 computer. I am in need of this computer as my clients require different software. My current computer does not have the capability to run multiple software at 1 time. Therefore, I am in need of a computer that is able to keep up with my workload and future client needs. Additionally, I am in need of a high-volume printer and scanner. Currently, I am using a printer that cannot do high volume printing without consistent printer issues and does not have the compacity to do multi-page scans. All other funds will go toward marketing material to increase clientele reach and service the community in their administrative needs.

Business Plan
Soul Flower LLC provides administrative services to all humans. Administrative services include expense tracking, maintenance coordination with rental properties, contractor and vendor management, office organization, contract and document assistance, and assisting with processes to achieve their personal administrative goals. I aim to expand this assistance to people who have not been educated on how to speak to, gain attention, to gain professional services that they need. Many low-income families are not educated on how to write an email or deal with bureaucratic processes, I would like to expand Soul Flower LLC to be able to afford to help populations of low-income and immigrant people who struggle with their regular administrative duties. I am 1st generation American in my family. My family immigrated from Uzbekistan to America 25 years ago. I was required to translate and handle all familial administrative duties. I know all too well the struggles some families and populations face when they do not have the skills needed to succeed in their administrative life. Be it navigating corporate phone calls, knowing how to communicate with professionals in an effective way, or even knowing how to navigate online forums. This is a service I feel is not being filled in the Columbia MO area. I would like to be that resource.

Self Identified Competition
There are translating companies and courses for people to learn these skills around the Missouri area. However, there is no service that helps that client step by step through any issue. There is no service that holds their hand during those frustrating moments of being at home for 3+ hours or unable to send a large email due to its size. What makes me different is that I care because I have been through it. I had to learn how to keep my personal records, how to take notes on important calls, and how to effectively work with people to get what I need. Now, I am providing this service to others. As far as I know, there is no other company in Columbia MO doing this.
