The End of the Rainbow LLC | Application Preview
The End of the Rainbow LLC is seeking government grants to support its business operations, including monthly expenses, advertising, and expanding its wholesale product offerings. The company plans to maintain its existing consignment opportunities, craft classes, and product lines while aiming to increase participation in these areas. Additionally, there are plans to host community events and outreach efforts.
The owner has extensive experience in the direct sales craft industry, having been active for 14 years in various venues such as craft fairs and expos, highlighting a gap in small business events in the community that could benefit local entrepreneurs. The store provides a unique space for small business owners to showcase their products and connect with a larger audience.
What sets The End of the Rainbow LLC apart from local competition is its distinctive consignment model, which differs from typical setups, as well as its dedicated craft class space—an offering not currently available in the community. The store also provides exclusive wholesale product lines that are unavailable at nearby competitors.
A key competitive advantage is the welcoming atmosphere fostered in the store, where customers are greeted warmly and encouraged to engage with others who share similar interests. This focus on community and personal connection is central to the business's mission.

Business Plan
Continue to offer our current consignment opportunity, craft classes and product lines. Grow in the number of consignment members, craft class and attendees, craft product lines. I would also like to bring in community event and do come community out reach. I have been in the direct sales craft industry for 14 years. I have participated in craft fairs, home parties, expo's and more. There are not enough small business events in our community to help small businesses find success. My store offers a space for those small business owners to sell their items and reach more people. In the crafting community, individuals love to get together, learn and share their passions. With our craft class opportunities, we provide just that! I believe my store is unique! I have consignment unlike other consignment shops, no booths. I also have the craft class space that is not offered in our community. The wholesale lines I have brought into my store are not offered anywhere close to our community. When people come into my store they are greeted by a friendly face, find the unexpected and have a place to be with like minded people.

Self Identified Competition
There are a few consignment stores in our community. None of which has their pricing, percentage, and set up like ours. We also have three box stores in our community that offer craft supplies. None are offering the two supply lines I am currently offering. There is no competitors for craft classes currently. I hope each and every customer that walk in our doors feels welcome and that their personal needs are met. We create a friendly and welcoming environment for everyone.
