Big Boy Movers LLC | Application Preview
Big Boy Movers LLC is seeking government grants to enhance its business through effective marketing strategies. The funds will be utilized to develop a professional website, create business cards, establish a dedicated shop for materials, and produce promotional items like shirts and banners. Currently, the company relies on word-of-mouth referrals and flyers, which have brought some success, but the owner believes that a strong online presence will significantly increase visibility and ultimately lead to more job opportunities and revenue.
The owner has successfully grown the business from a few thousand dollars to twenty thousand within a year and a half, demonstrating strong motivation and entrepreneurial spirit, despite being only 22 years old. The grant funds are crucial for further growth, as the owner is facing financial constraints.
In terms of competition, Big Boy Movers faces established companies like Two Men & A Truck, which has a larger fleet and staff. However, the owner emphasizes a unique competitive edge by genuinely enjoying the moving process and maintaining a positive attitude, which contrasts with the often poor customer service found in larger companies. The owner's commitment to providing an upbeat and caring service is a key aspect of the business, which aims to build a strong reputation in the moving industry.

Business Plan
I plan on doing more marketing as right now I am doing word of mouth and flyers and its done pretty well but I feel like I can get more views once I get a website up and running which will increase the volume of people looking at my company in return make more money by landing more jobs. I started this company from nothing and grew it to from a couple thousand to 20 thousand in 1.5 years. So, I have the drive and motivation to grow the company but just taking longer because of the lack of money I have as I am still young (22).

Self Identified Competition
Two Men & A Truck - Big Company and has the fleet to move about anything and also has a sales team with a good amount of employees they pay cheap. I say my company is different because I actually enjoy helping people move and I'm a pretty fit guy so I find moving enjoyable as its a pretty intensive workout. Many moving companies have bad attitudes because they have cheap/unmotivated employees that don't actually care about the people they move. I on the other hand like helping people and always have a good attitude when moving even if the homeowner is difficult to work with. I take pride in my company since I built it and want my reputation to be good and upbeat.
