C5 manufacturing | Application Preview
C5 Manufacturing is seeking government grants to support product development, which includes researching and designing a jig for assembling a new steel product, hiring a labor force for machine operation and product construction, and purchasing essential equipment like a plasma cutting table.
The business aims to expand its offerings by introducing new economical hydraulic hay lifting equipment and reaching out to more customers, both locally and out of state. Their strategy involves diversifying their product line, which includes bale beds, flat beds, and dirt scrapers, targeting sectors beyond agriculture such as construction, waste management, landscaping, and municipal needs. More information on their offerings is available on their website.
C5 Manufacturing believes that their innovative approach sets them apart. Their unique dump feature differentiates their bale beds from competitors like Deweeze, Hydrabed, and Butler, who provide similar products without this capability. The company offers customizable solutions with nine different sizes suitable for various truck types, providing a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new vehicles. Their focus on customization and functionality forms their competitive edge in the market.

Business Plan
We plan to grow our business by increasing the amount of products including offering a new economical hydraulic hay lifting equipment. We also want to reach out to more locations and customers to offer all our products including the bale beds, flat beds, and dirt scrapers especially out of state areas. The diversification of our products opens us up to more than just agriculture. Construction companies, waste management, landscapers, and municipalities will be approached to buy our products for their business needs. More details on how our products can help can be seen on our website at www.c5mfg.com Investors should invest in our company because we are aggressive in that we are willing to grow and take chances. Our product is unique to other similar products in that it uses a dump feature to move the hay and or other aggregate used in heavy lifting or feeding of cattle.

Self Identified Competition
Our top 3 competitors are Deweeze, Hydrabed, and Butler. Each bale bed that is made by them has their own features but many similarities. We are the only one that can dump so we are obsolete in the bale bed business. We custom make many of our beds including 9 sizes available to change any pick up truck 3/4 and up to a bale bed. Like I stated in the above paragraph. We offer 9 sizes for farmers and ranchers to fit their trucks with a bale bed. This goes for the flat beds for landscapers, construction workers, and municipalities. They possibilities of fitting their truck with our equipment keeps the cost of having to buy a new truck and work with a correct size to fit it. We are custom built to the trucks and we can make the equipment dump safely. That is our niche.
