Applying for the Lillie Knox Investing for Growth Grant could earn your business up to $5,000. The application process is very simple; we asked one of last years' winners, Jennifer Blakeney of Guaranteed Express, Inc., about her experience.
WBCS: Was is difficult to apply?
JB: No it was not difficult to apply at all. The application is on the WBCSW website and very easy to fill out.
WBCS: How did you use the money in 2015?
JB: The money was used to fund a portion of the cost for a cargo van for deliveries.
WBCS: How has your business changed since your purchase or investment?
JB: Since winning the Lillie Knox award, I have purchased an additional vehicle and increased my employee count from 5 to 11. My sales have increased by nearly 15% this year and we're on target to increase by 20% by the end of the year. I believe winning the Lillie Knox award allowed me to take a step I was afraid to take and it was ultimately holding me back from going after the growth I needed to increase my revenue.
