Fresh Press Threads, LLC | Application Preview
Fresh Press Threads, LLC is seeking government grants to support their business expansion. The funding will be used to acquire equipment that will enhance their production capabilities and introduce new services, including embroidery and sublimation. They plan to open a storefront in downtown Lima, which will not only retail their products but also provide educational tours of the screen printing process for community members, local schools, and field trips.
The owners are deeply invested in their family business and are driven by a vision to create a lasting legacy for their daughter. They aspire to contribute to the revitalization of downtown Lima, offering unique experiences through live demonstrations and educational opportunities like internships.
Although they face competition from established local businesses that primarily focus on sports apparel, Fresh Press Threads believes they can differentiate themselves. Their competitive advantages include a broader customer base, personalized service, faster turnaround times, and a unique business model that emphasizes education and community engagement. With the right support, they aim to position themselves as the leading screen printing business in the region.

Business Plan
We plan on adding new services such as embroidery and sublimation. We also plan on opening a store front in our downtown area that would offer educational tours to showcase the screen printing process to our community and local schools. We are extremely motivated and have put everything we have in our family business and plan on building an empire for our daughter. We have big dreams of being a part of our growing downtown Lima area with a storefront that would offer live screen printing tours to educate local residents, schools, etc… on the art of screen printing. We would like to offer field trip opportunities, internships, etc…

Self Identified Competition
Our top 3 competitors are Cappies sportswear, Lima Sporting goods and Donnelly Designs. They are all more well-established in the area, but do not offer what we plan on offering in the future. They mostly focus on school spirit wear and sports apparel. We cater to everyone, offer a more intimate experience with our customer service, and have quicker turnaround times and better organization than most. Our plans for the future are unlike anything in our area and I believe if we can make it happen, we could become the top screen printing business in the area.
