My business is mainly second hand clothing, beddings, curtains, school bags, hand bags and rugs.
I target mostly the under privileged to who I either give on credit or on cash basis on my stand which is just located near the station in Ndola town center.
My capital was from my salary, I chose this kind of business because I had work around my capital and so far its going well than my expectations.
I don't have much expenses, its just transport to and from Lusaka where I buy the bales from and to pay my employee. I have only employed one person to help and am working and I take over during the weekend.
