Cravings RI | Application Preview
Cravings RI is seeking government grants to support its growth and operations. The funding will be used for kitchen rental fees, leasing a small storefront with or without kitchen facilities, and acquiring storage for inventory and refrigeration. It will also cover necessary inventory for producing confections and charcuterie, packaging materials, and marketing efforts.
The business plan aims to expand product offerings and enhance marketing strategies while investing in efficient equipment and conducting ongoing market research to stay ahead of trends.
Investors are encouraged to support Cravings RI as it is a women-owned business that has rapidly gained popularity through the creativity and determination of its founder, Nicole, a seasoned medical sales professional. She has identified a market need for a versatile provider of custom charcuterie and desserts, which aligns with her passion for party planning and food presentation. This venture represents a proven concept led by an owner committed to success.
In terms of competition, Cravings RI stands out against rivals like The Perfect Parcel and Hannah's Sweet Surprise by uniquely offering both charcuterie and confections, positioning itself as a one-stop shop for custom catering needs.
