Vancouver WoodSmith | Application Preview
Vancouver WoodSmith is seeking government grants to support business recovery through equipment and inventory purchases. The funding will enable a website revamp, which historically generated sufficient leads and sales. The plan includes expanding shop equipment and possibly renting a woodworking space instead of operating from a garage.
One strong reason for funding approval is the business's commitment to training 1-2 new woodworkers each year as apprentices, providing them with valuable skills at no cost. Additionally, this funding will facilitate the business's relocation to Hawaii, enhancing its local presence.
The competition consists of general woodworkers, but Vancouver WoodSmith stands out due to its custom-made, made-to-order products. Each item is unique unless a customer specifies otherwise, ensuring personalized service that sets the business apart in the market.

Business Plan
Revamp my website which has historically provided more than enough leads/purchases to sustain the business. Add to my set of shop equipment and benches and, possibly, rent space in a woodworking shop rather than continue to run out of my garage. Probably the best reason is that I typically train 1-2 new woodworkers/year, by bringing them on as apprentice workers. They do not pay for the services or use of equipment. Secondarily, it provides the opportunity for my business to re-emerge, now in my home state of Hawaii.

Self Identified Competition
