Sending Only Love and Resources | Application Preview
Sending Only Love and Resources is seeking government grants to support employee retention, cover production supplies, and manage monthly expenses like rent and utilities. The funding will also enhance promotional efforts, including professional photography and web design, to improve the company's visibility and attract more clients.
The business has a reliable vending system that performs well, and plans to expand by strategically placing additional machines, particularly in new apartment developments. Over the next five years, the goal is to secure 10-15 more vending locations and acquire a larger warehouse for storage and distribution.
In addition to vending, there are ambitions to scale the catering side into a sit-down or carry-out restaurant. While mobile catering has been the primary focus, the long-term vision is to create a vegan fusion restaurant modeled similarly to Chipotle. Marketing efforts will prioritize social media and complimentary services to generate exposure.
The application emphasizes the company's identity as a black-owned business with a commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. It highlights strong market potential in their niche while ensuring a low environmental impact through cashless transactions and eco-friendly operations.
In terms of competition, they face CVS vending machines and a variety of food establishments for catering. However, they believe their unique, high-quality vegan cuisine sets them apart from popular brands. Their competitive advantage lies in pricing and moral standards, as they refuse to stock items linked to unethical labor practices, alongside offering a diverse range of innovative vegan dishes.

Business Plan
The system we use now for vending is pretty reliable, and the items sell well. Through linear implementation of marketing to new apartment developments and addition of new machines as placement opportunities arise, we are able to enjoy compound results. In 5 years we will have secured 10-15 more vending placements and purchased a larger warehouse for stock storage and transport. In 5 years I would like to scale the catering business to also be a sit-down or carry-out restaurant. Mobile catering was always more of a means, and never the end we had in mind as a company. To continue exposure we will continue to offer complimentary service to prospective clients and advertise through social media. We would eventually become a restaurant with a similar business model to chipotle, but with vegan fusion cuisine as opposed to Mexican cuisine. We’re black owned! We’re charismatic and lovable! We’re strategic. The niches we’ve targeted have long uncapped positive market projections, the system is highly reproducible, and the means of production are sustainable. Our company is also very conscious about our societal impact and eco footprint. Investors can rest assured knowing that their names are attached to a company that is outcomes-oriented, but also heart-set on finding the paths to those profitable outcomes that are of the least environmental and social harm. All transactions are cashless. All correspondence from B2B or B2C is paperless and all company vehicles are eco-friendly.

Self Identified Competition
For vending, our only competitors are cvs vending machines. For catering, we compete with virtually every other food place around. Luckily, because of the unique style of our cuisine, it quickly found its own lane that is niche, but largely unmatched in quality by the likes of our plant-based contemporaries.(Slutty-vegan, Tassili’s, Tim drum, Panda Express, del taco, chipotle) CVS’s machines offer a similar niche, but our prices are competitive and our company is morally superior. We also have a wider selection of OTC medicines and first aid. Unlike cvs, we refuse to stock items produced by child or prison labor. Our catering company offers a wider cuisine than Tassili’s, slutty vegan, and Burger King combined. From soul, to Mexican, to Jamaican, to Asian fusion; our vegan cuisine is unmatched in flavor, presentation, and creativity.
