How would you use the FedEx Small Business Grant money to make a significant impact on your business?

If we were to win the FedEx small business grant, we would use it for business capital along with opening an online store. Opening an online store is one of the only ways for small retailers to compete in today's marketplace. As a small business with only 6 full time employees and one part time employee, it is imperative in today's economy to spend every penny wisely.
