My Business
I have one employee whom i pay $ 75.00 US dollar monthly,i offer hair relaxers,nail polish,bracelets,braids,weaves,hair foods,combs,selling blow drys,clutch bags,ladies wear,hairbands.
The services are useful because i give permanent employment to my employee,the goods that are on high demand include;clutch bags,bracelets,hair foods,weaves hairbands and ladies wear,therefore this make the goods and services useful to the customers.
i chose this kind of business because i had passion and curiosity about beauty and cosmetic again where my business is situated there are no nearest sort of businesses thus always had high expenses for he ladies to go to have their needs satisfied and so i came up with the idea to start my business in order to minimize their expenses

I use my profit to pay part of my school fees,my pocket money and adding stock.
