Hi everyone! My name is Ajoney Smalls, born and raised on Whidbey Island, WA. I have been working to open my business, Fresh Start Juice Bar for the last couple of months and have ran into a challenge with financing. I am approved for my location and lease and I have been saving and saving for this day but not having more capital to work with for purchasing equipment, small fixes or getting an additional loan without history of sales is difficult for a new small business. Fresh Start Juice Bar has been a vision God has given me and my family within the last couple of years. I believe God has allowed me to gain years of experience as a manager, and additional education through college with a bachelors in business management to add and give back to my community!!! Fresh Start Juice Bar focuses on fresh pressed juice, smoothies, boba tea, crepes, and various nutritional baked goods. It will be a place that is welcoming to everyone, and most importantly a business that gives back to the community that raised me. If anyone is interested in seeing my business plan, please message me with your email and I will happily send you the PDF. If you donate to help get me started, you will definitely be receiving free drink coupons by email before we open!!! (You have to donate with your name stated to receive your coupons) All proceeds WILL go towards the business. Thank you In advance to everyone willing to help with this. Even if you aren’t able to give money, donating time to help get things set up is so appreciated as well!!! ❤️
