IMAGINATION CREATIONS LLC | Application Preview
IMAGINATION CREATIONS LLC is seeking government grants to enhance its business operations. The funding will be used to transform the owner's garage into a professional workspace, allowing for increased client capacity, and to acquire additional supplies. As a solo entrepreneur, the owner faces financial challenges that this support would alleviate.
The five-year business plan focuses on expanding multiple service areas. The catering segment aims to introduce shipping for baked goods and create a sustainable meal kit similar to HelloFresh, but more accessible to those with limited disposable income. The makeup division plans to provide services on film sets and photo shoots. The tattoo segment intends to recruit other artists and offer classes, while the nail entity will begin shipping press-on nails and hire additional nail technicians.
The owner emphasizes that this business is a reflection of her passions, stemming from her dedication to self-teaching and formal education at a prestigious culinary school. She’s determined and resourceful, having built this venture from the ground up without financial backing.
Competition is minimal as no other local business offers the same range of services. The unique selling proposition lies in her commitment to accessibility and customer satisfaction. Her model ensures that services are affordable and tailored to individual needs, including options for disabled clients and flexible payment plans. The goal is to establish a loyal client base that returns consistently for various services, reinforcing the idea that self-care should be attainable for everyone.

Funding Usage
I would use the money to convert my garage into a more professional space to maximize the amount of clientele I am able to take on. I would also use it to purchase more supplies. Being that I am a one woman show all the expenses do tend to pile up and make it not as easy to stay afloat sometimes and this money will for sure lighten the load.

Business Plan
In the next 5 years, my plan to grow this business is to expand on each entity. My catering entity will expand into shipping out some of the sweet treats we offer as well as developing my own meal kit (like HelloFresh but more sustainable and available to the average person with minimal disposable income). My makeup entity will be working on movie sets and photoshoots for magazines. My tattoo entity I would like to expand to having artists under me as well as offer classes more accessible to the average person. Finally for my nail entity I will start shipping press ons as well as have a few nail techs working for me. My business is more than just a hobby I picked up randomly one day and decided I can make money off of it. Each entity is represents my passions. They are like my babies. I am 100% self taught in 3 out of 4 of these entities. For catering, I went to the top culinary school in America and #2 in the world. I've always strived to be the best at everything I do and it was a requirement to me that I go to be taught by the best. I don't come from money at all. I worked very hard to get my business off the ground all on my own it hasn't been easy but I would do it again every single time. I am very good with making nothing out of something. I have goals and so many ideas that I would do anything to bring them to life and I'm the type of person that isn't going to stop until I get there.

Self Identified Competition
I don't really have any competitors because I'm the only business like mines especially in my area. I am the only business that offers all the things I offer in one place. I think the biggest thing that sets me apart in general to other businesses is my entire business model is based off of accessibility and making my services as convenient and easy as possible for my clients. My focus is making sure everyone I service no matter which service they choose feels special, catered to and satisfied without breaking the bank. Like many people, I refer to the services I offer as apart of your self-care routine and I believe that everyone should be able to have access to these services without having to break the bank or sacrifice anything else. I travel to clients, have protocol for disabled clients, allergies are always taken into account and adjustments are made, I offer payment plans and everything is negotiable and I work with my clients as much as possible to ensure that they get the most out of their services while working within their budget. My goal is never for someone to come to me once and never again. I am striving for consistent, reoccurring and returning clients.
