Contestant's Case to Win

I own a small custom carpentry business in Watertown, Wi. My business has been running since 2002 and has 5 employees. We do anything from finish carpentry, to drywall, to tile work. I am looking to expand the business into home/business restoration. Since the economy can not predict when a disaster might strike it will be something that will always be in demand. I want to be able to help customers recover quickly and safely from these disasters such as fire and flood and help them do it in an affordable manor. In order to move a head with the expansion I will need to purchase the proper equipment and products and get the education and training that me and my employees will need to help this unfortunate customers. Hopefully with the expansion we will be able to help these people touched by disaster and be able to create jobs for others during this tough economic time. Thank you.
