What is your plan for the Jobber Grant?

I plan to use the funding for equipment for the members of the program so that they have what they need for the jobs. 

I would be my own boss. I would put it all into the business 

Where do I begin? I was recently married so I have to change my name on all my business material as well as personal. I'm a commissioned notary public having to update my name on all my notary stamps, business cards, business bank account, insurance, commission, Remote Online Notary commission, my LLC, EIN (IRS), everywhere. I need my uniform, trademark my business, get a CNA and an attorney. Get a business office because I'm working out of car. Purchase all display material such as a banner, table cover, marketing material so I can set up my booth at networking events. Join a couple of chambers of commerce. Oh, and purchase a great color laser printer, a lot of ink and paper. I have a good black and white one, but need a color one too.   https://www.journeebridgenotaryservices.com

Exciting news! I recently applied for the Jobber Grant as I work toward starting my handyman business.

This opportunity could help me invest in tools, equipment, and resources to better serve customers and continue provide quality home repair and maintenance services.

Thank you to Jobber for this opportunity to supported my business getting started! 

I would use my Jobber grant to hire key employees. I started this business out of necessity with just a truck and some tools, I started working. Now, I’ve grown—I have an added van, both vehicles are properly signed, I’ve got a shop, and much more tools! I get calls every day. But I’ve reached a point where I can only do so much alone, and even less when I’m constantly answering calls. It’s time to step off the tools and put people in place to handle the work. I’m excited to provide jobs to others who need them, just like I once did. I’d also use the grant to repair the truck that got me started—it needs a new motor, and that’s a $5,000 fix. This grant would help me move from scraping by alone to building something stable—for my family and for others

If I were to get that grant he would be life-changing. I’ve been running my business for 10 years. I’ve never got a loan. I never borrowed a dollar but I’ve been struggling finding business and I usually hire people who are in recovery, drugs, and alcohol and try to teach some man new trade, but my equipment is getting to me on it even though my mechanic work thankfully I’m able to do that if I could, I wouldn’t be able to stay in business but my employee stay at a halfway house is very expensive and sometimes making their payroll very tough especially when they’re not very experienced at times right now. I’m just having trouble staying afloat volunteering and giving them back to my community, but I just can’t do it very much like I want to right now every little bit of money I get my businesse and my home and family life is suffering, but I can’t give up a lot of people who count on me, but I can’t starve to death either lose everything I’ve got you guys just don’t know how much this grant will help me

I would hire some office admin support so that I can focus on the bigger picture - having someone who can handle the day-to-day client calls and bookings would give me so much more time to focus on marketing, growth, etc. I would also love to move into a space that better suits our growing needs!

It would be super beneficial to me, I own a lawncare business in souther Minnesota, and it would help me grow tremendously, whether I use it on new equipment to expand services, or if I put it to good use in my community!

I’ve applied for a grant.  How does the process work?! 

With my grant, I will acquire a cargo van and equipment to start my medical courier business. I would ensure I have to proper commercial insurance and set up for my success. I would ensure to pave a path for expansion, thus creating job opportunities, and eventually, generational wealth.
