My Business

From the little saving I had I ventured into business in the year 2018 where I started diaper and electrical shop, by then it was doing quite well and I was able to meet my needs and that of the family. But come early this year my sales started dropping due to this world disaster covid -19 pandemic since most 0f my customers went to up country for the fear of pandemic and survival in the city which affected my business. But since things are normalizing though the fear is still there I would like to boost my business again since I had used the little saving I had to put meal on the table for the family(after all people needs to eat)in order to maintain my sales as it was there before this monster erupted.
My business capital was 1500$ before covid-19, Back then I was able to have sales of 100$ in a week where in a month I was able to get a profit of 400$ out of this I was able to pay all rents, school fees and feeding the family and saving little remaining
