Wintergreen Outdoor LLC | Application Preview
Wintergreen Outdoor LLC is applying for government grants to fund the acquisition of a small to midsize tractor equipped with a bucket, blower, and plow. This equipment is intended to enhance their operations year-round, particularly for snow removal in the winter, which they believe will attract a larger residential and commercial customer base.
The company has been working toward this goal for two years, but financial challenges in the current economy have hindered their progress. By offering snow removal services, they aim to increase their customer base, leading to greater revenue. Furthermore, the tractor would also be beneficial for spring and fall clean-ups, as well as irrigation installations.
Wintergreen Outdoor LLC prides itself on being the largest small snow contractor in the area, handling diverse services and maintaining a loyal customer base. They emphasize their commitment to quality service, supported by a strong 5-star rating and favorable word-of-mouth referrals.
In terms of competition, Wintergreen is among the top three contractors in the area, enjoying mutual respect and camaraderie with their competitors. Their unique approach to customer service sets them apart; they customize their lawn treatments to match the individual needs of each property, avoiding one-size-fits-all solutions. Home visits for quotes ensure they fully understand customer requirements, further enhancing their competitive edge.

Funding Usage
Our next goal for our business to expand is to purchase a small to midsize tractor that can be used all year long. It will have a bucket for summer duties, a blower and plow for winter duties. We have been working towards this goal for 2 years and with the seasons and economy it has become a struggle for us to get to that point. Having this equipment would increase our customer base which would increase our revenue.

Business Plan
We want to start with a tractor with a blower and plow to increase our customer base in the winter months. We could increase our residential customer base along with the smaller commercials/retail customer base. We have done the research in our area. Customer would love to have someone that has this equipment to handle their snow removal. Beyond the snow removal, we could use this in so many ways in the other seasons. For spring and fall clean ups, also for irrigation installs. Having a tractor would be a huge game changer for us. We are the largest smallest snow contractor in the area. We handle all the manufacturing in our town and the town next to us. We handle a large customer base for both snow and grass. We have customers that do one service with us, then they come to use for all their services. We have a 5 star rating. Most of our customers come from word of mouth. We are open and transparent with our customers. We are loyal with them and they are loyal to us.

Self Identified Competition
We are considered one of the top 3 in the area. We work well with the other 2. We all have respect for each other and our businesses. We received a huge compliment from one of them when they called us one of the top companies in the area. Both of the other 2 companies have been in business for 25 years and we have been in business for over 5 years. One that things makes us different is that when we treat a lawn we make it specific to that lawn. We do not do blanket applications. We treat each customer and lawn uniquely. Not every lawn is the same. They all different soil levels. Same goes for snow removal. We don't give quotes out over the phone, we go out to each property and meet with the home owner and make sure we understand their specific needs.
