SHAWS LUMBER@ | Application Preview
Sha's Lumber is seeking government grants to support labor expenses during the winter and to invest in upgrading its equipment. The business aims to establish drying kilns over the next five years to dry and sell its own lumber to the public.
The request for funding highlights the rapid growth of small businesses within the lumber industry, which presents an opportunity to generate comparable revenue to larger mills while maintaining lower overhead costs.
In terms of competition, Shaw's Lumber is up against three larger sawmills that currently lack drying kilns. This positions Shaw's Lumber with a distinct advantage, as the kilns will allow for better product offerings. The business also prides itself on flexibility, taking on custom orders and not turning down any job opportunities, which further strengthens its competitive edge.
