My Business
I am in to African made shirts,and supply these shirts to some people who really love these African shirts.I started this business in the year 2016 when I had no job after school.I saved some money from my national service allowance and started the business.I had a female friend who make these shirts,I then go and buy them and sell them to others and make some profit out of it.I started the business with Ghs1342.00 that is $ 244.00 but now I have about $1000.00 as capital in the business.In believe I can make it big if a get some financial assistant. Thank you.
