Car For Hire Rental | Application Preview
Car For Hire Rental is seeking government grants to enhance its business operations and better serve its community. The funds would be allocated to securing a commercial space, advertising, purchasing reliable rental vehicles, upgrading tools, and hiring additional staff. The owner, currently overwhelmed by the demands of running the business alone, hopes to create a service department and improve work-life balance to spend more time with family.
The business, established and operational, believes that the grant will allow for expansion, leading to increased revenue and job creation. It highlights the importance of providing accessible vehicle rental options to the middle class in Shreveport, noting that platforms like Turo impose higher requirements that many potential renters cannot meet.
In terms of competition, Car For Hire Rental positions itself as a more affordable and customer-friendly alternative to major players like Turo, Hertz, and airport services. The owner has extensive experience in the auto repair field and has plans to further contribute to the community by potentially establishing an auto program in local job training centers. With a solid foundation of four dependable vehicles and necessary business documentation in place, the applicant is optimistic that with grant support, the business can thrive and expand to nearby cities, while also developing in-house services like roadside assistance.

Business Plan
as i stated in the beginning at this point my business is already up and running the grant can help with commercial location and more rental vehicles and that can generate more revenue and hire more employers. my business supports not only my family but the requirements to rent a vehicle helps the middle class in the Shreveport area the Turo app and other platforms has made it hard to rent a vehicle with a lot of requirements the average person does not have i also have contracts the renter has to agree to, and Aswell as meet requirements before they can rent a vehicle from my company also.

Self Identified Competition
Turo, Herts and the airports can't compete with my prices the crowd I target with the grant I can expand to more closer cities and hire my personal road side keeping things in house I've been in the auto repair field 15 years in California Fresno city college for auto 9 most of the work I do myself and I eventually wanted to put a auto program in job corps and in the career center in Shreveport so this business has more in store to offer with a little help my father is a contractor does all of the Shreveport area concrete in Shreveport we have talked about him loaning me funds but as always things never get done so I have no choice but to try getting a grant the business was started with me alone and its up and running with 4 dependable vehicles the business license and tax id is in place and much more is to come in the coming time. I spoke about a lot of this in the top competitor's box sorry spoke so soon it's my prices and the crowd I attract, and the requirements are able to be met unlike much of the normal companies every customer has mentioned its much affordable and easier thru my company so brining in revenue will not be an issue.
