DJW Creative Solutions LLC/Virginia Mobile Notary | Application Preview

 

DJW Creative Solutions LLC, operating as Virginia Mobile Notary, is applying for government grants to enhance its business operations. The funding is intended to support the owner in transitioning to full-time work by covering living and business expenses while improving essential tools and marketing strategies. Key investments will include upgrading computer equipment, enhancing digital marketing efforts, and acquiring necessary supplies for efficient operations within a comfortable home office setting.

The business plan focuses on growth through increased marketing efforts, such as door-to-door outreach and social media engagement. The owner aims to develop a new website and relaunch an e-commerce store to diversify revenue streams, which will include notary services, e-commerce, project management, and potentially real estate ventures.

The request for funding is based on the owner's commitment to the business, noting that she has already taken risks and is seeing positive results, but needs support for sustainability and expansion. She emphasizes her assertiveness and willingness to make sacrifices for long-term success, with aspirations to eventually support other entrepreneurs.

In assessing competition, the owner identifies three main competitors, including a well-established notary service and a newer competitor with more reviews. However, the owner highlights the limitations of competitors, such as the services banks can provide and the opportunities for mobile notary services to assist individuals who are immobile.

DJW Creative Solutions distinguishes itself through its personalized approach, additional training, and a social work background, which enhances patience and professionalism in handling difficult family situations during notarizations. This competitive edge positions the business favorably in a growing market.

    I plan to grown my business in the following ways; increase marketing through door to door visits, and social media (website, social media platforms, posts, educational posting related to my business.) I'll also need to develop a new website for my LLC, and relaunch my e-commerce store's website where I can see an increase in revenue. I plan to have several streams of income coming in through my business to include notary, e-commerce, project management, and possibly real estate.

  • Self Identified Competition

    My notary business is the main stream of income at the moment and its not enough to sustain although its growing. My 3 top competitors are Virginia Mobile Notary, the name sounds familiar and they have been in the business much longer than I; next there's Notarized by Bree, I've recently saw her information she's fairly new to google but she has more reviews than me, with google you can ask friends for reviews so I dont know if each review are from actual paying customers for mobile notary, then there's all the banks and places that does notarizations for free--with this is there limitation on types of notarizations banks can do. They don't notarize mortgage loan due to potential liability as well as Wills & POA's. There are also people who are immobile and benefit from having a notary come to them. Personability, additional training, social work background that increase my level of patience and professionalism when families have conflict in front of a notary, distance willing to travel for business.
