Agora Consulting & Events | Application Preview
Agora Consulting & Events is seeking government grants to expand its event planning business. The funding will be used for purchasing additional props and items for rental, acquiring a larger vehicle for efficient transportation of goods, payroll for employees, and securing bigger storage space. Additionally, the funding will help network and elevate the business to attract high-profile clients.
The business plan aims to grow from a South Florida operation to a national presence, with a potential team of 5-10 members or more based on demand. The owner is focused on making connections and organizing high-profile events that can boost recognition. Agora is intended to be the owner's primary source of income.
Reasons for funding approval include the owner’s extensive experience in event planning, a strong network of industry contacts, and a commitment to delivering comprehensive event management services. The owner is passionate about the business and driven to achieve a work-life balance as a single mother, ensuring time spent with her child while building a successful career.
In terms of competition, Agora faces several event planning companies in the region, including Cortez Event Agency, Events By Vento Designs, and Chris Weinberg Events. Each of these competitors offers a range of services and has established a presence in the market.
Agora’s competitive edge lies in the owner’s clear goals and deep passion for the work. The business not only aims to achieve financial stability but also reflects the owner's commitment to providing a supportive environment for her child. This dedication and personal investment in the business differentiate Agora from its competitors and drive its growth potential.
