Big Bank Fishing Company LLC | Application Preview

 

Big Bank Fishing Company LLC is seeking government grants to enhance business productivity and engage in charitable activities. The funding will support expanding inventory and acquiring commercial-grade equipment necessary for safe operations. In addition to business growth, the company aims to contribute to the community through non-profit initiatives.

The business plan focuses on leveraging various marketing platforms to promote convenient access to saltwater fishing products. Currently operated from a single truck, the company envisions scaling up to operate 3-4 professionally styled food trucks in the Tampa area.

The owner, originally from Atlanta, emphasizes a lifelong passion for fishing and wildlife, backed by their education and previous experience in law enforcement and blue-collar jobs. This journey led them to Tampa, where they recognize a strong demand for fishing-related services. Their motivation is to enhance community well-being and security.

In terms of competition, Big Bank Fishing Company faces local bait shops, including Gandy Bait and Tackle, J’s Bait and Tackle, and Sailors Mike Bait and Tackle. However, the company's competitive advantage lies in its mobility, being the only mobile bait shop in Tampa. This unique offering allows for direct delivery of fishing products to customers and charter captains, addressing a common challenge for those eager to get on the water.

  • Funding Usage

    The usage of funds would be broken down into 2 branches and that being business productivity as well as charity.

As of right now, the operation of this business is currently being conducted out of one truck. The future growth would be for at minimum in the City of a Tampa 3-4 trucks out daily (professional food truck styled vehicles). Coming from Atlanta, GA as the owner of BBFC, I’ve always held a passion for fishing and wildlife. After gaining my 4 year degree in GA, I’ve considered serving in law enforcement to not only enforce laws but to protect all human endeavors involved in fishing and wildlife. Fast forward a few years after working a various amount of blue collared jobs and starting a fishing charter in GA , I felt moving to Tampa,FL was best as the beautiful state of Florida has more of a demand for fishing and wildlife like no other. Nothing breaks my faith, determination and motivation to help achieve the build of comfort, security and happiness to my surroundings and the community.
