Personal Essential Gear LLC | Application Preview
Personal Essential Gear LLC is seeking government grant funding to purchase bulk emergency disaster gear, aiming to expand its business. The company's focus is on marketing nationwide and collaborating with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (F.E.M.A.) to provide affordable, multi-functional gear to low-income families.
The business intends to educate these communities about disaster preparedness, emphasizing self-sufficiency rather than relying solely on government aid. The founder believes in empowering individuals by teaching them how to effectively prepare for emergencies rather than just providing temporary solutions.
One of the main reasons for funding approval is the company’s commitment to offering high-quality survival gear that caters specifically to low-income consumers, who often face greater risks during disasters. Many of these individuals lack access to essential gear, which contributes to higher rates of loss during emergencies.
In terms of competition, Personal Essential Gear sets itself apart from established companies like Stealth Angel Survival by offering customizable solutions tailored to specific needs, rather than generic packages. The founder highlights the importance of providing reliable, functional products that align with F.E.M.A.'s recommendations, ensuring these families have the resources necessary to face emergencies head-on.

Business Plan
I plan to market my business nationwide along with attending various expos and working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help low-income neighborhoods be able to obtain quality multi-functional, affordable emergency disaster gear to ensure survival rates are better in time of a disaster or emergency. My business is trying to target low-income families along with individuals who have become to reliant upon the government to step in during a crisis. What exactly does F.E.M.A do? F.E.M.A (Federal Emergency Management Agency) mission is to support the citizens and first responders to promote that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. Nowhere does it state in that statement that their job is to rescue people. Yet to many Low-income families believe it is. I want to educate them as well on how to lessen the impact of a disaster or emergency. If you give a man a fish he will eat for a day, if you teach him how to fish he can sustain himself. That's my idea: teach educate and equip. My biggest niche versus the industry now is , I am offering quality items to low-income consumers who otherwise end up paying for bags full of the most single use and lack luster built items.This does not inspire confidence during a crisis situation. Black and minorities suffer higher lost of life and property when it comes to disasters or emergencies; they often lack the gear to provide shelter, heat, food, medicine, even when applying for aid after, most do not have documents to verify who they are or where they lived. I intend to help close that divide. I have and continue to build a website that will allow for the consumer to find quality gear that is reasonable, to their liking thus will inspire them to become familiar with it, learn what to do which will prompt a better response in the face of crisis.
