Recco Jewels | Application Preview
Recco Jewels is applying for a government grant of $10,000 to eliminate credit card debt incurred during the startup phase. While the business has established a stable customer base, the existing debt has limited profit margins. The company intends to use the funds primarily to pay off this debt, with any remaining amount allocated to marketing efforts aimed at expanding brand reach and contributing to the community.
The business plan outlines a five-year vision to transition to 100% private manufacturing of their jewelry, including a branded stamp on each piece. Currently, about 40% of their products are sourced from other manufacturers, with the rest designed in-house. Achieving complete in-house production is projected to lead to a remarkable 500% increase in revenue.
The owner, a driven 23-year-old entrepreneur, emphasizes determination and resilience as key attributes. After starting the business with only $50 and no external support, she has built Recco Jewels to generate $20,000 in revenue. The funding would enable her to compete more effectively against larger rivals who benefit from private branding capabilities.
The competitive edge of Recco Jewels lies in the owner’s strong leadership skills and vision for growth. A lack of financial resources is currently the main barrier to realizing these goals and expanding the business's potential.

Funding Usage
We are seeking $10,000 in funding to pay off the credit card debts we incurred while starting our business. Despite having a stable base of customers, our profits have been hampered by the debt we accumulated during the initial phase. We plan to allocate the remaining funds towards marketing to expand our brand and give back to our community in the long run.

Business Plan
Over the next five years, my goal is to have all of our pieces privately manufactured with our branding stamp. Right now, we are retail—buying from other manufacturers for about 40%, and the rest is designed by us and privately manufactured. The goal is to get there 100%. If we can make this possible - we forecast a 500% increase in revenue. I am a 23 year old business owner with an unbelievable drive. My mantra is if someone tells you no - you asked the wrong person. Recco Jewels is my pride and joy - I started the brand fresh out of college in my parent's basement with $50 to my name and no help. Now we are up to $20,000 in revenue - imagine if I had the funds to help me grow even more significantly.

Self Identified Competition
My top three competetors are quite above me in the money aspect. Being that they are able to brand their pieces with private manufacturing is huge. If I had the funds to be where they are - I would be blowing them out of the water. I have the skill set to be a great CEO. The only thing holding me back is not having enough funds to back me up.
