My business is a fast consumable goods FMCG, I sale daily and I generate profits every day. My shop is small and the grocery goods finish very fast because the goods I sale are daily essentials and are consumed every day. At the moment the cost of running my is at ZMW 30,000.00, I need additional working capital to restock up the shop with more grocery goods due to high demand. once I inject more capital my weekly turn over will be great. Grocery retail shop requires enough capital because goods run out very fast and needs to be restocked up for the business to sustain itself.
