Business Infrastructure:

Art Wave is currently formed as a sole proprietorship. I plan to apply for a tax identification number once sales increase.

As a startup and home-based business this is still a one-man show in terms of design creation and ideation. I have a separate room where I sit at my table and use my laptop and phone for ideas, design, photography, and marketing. However, labor is hired to complete the craftmanship.

In the future, I would like to invest in the following

  1. A WordPress website with WooCommerce and a Blogging Platform. The aim is to share design ideas for empty spaces and walls and to promote each piece designed by Art Wave.
  2. I will subscribe to free accounting software for tracking expenses, payroll, and creating invoices. Or create a customized Excel spreadsheet to do so.
  3. I will expand my social media reach through Instagram and Tiktok.
  4. Cloud Storage – get Google Drive or Box.com to store documents, files, and images.
