Hi Lenders and thank you for your patience on my update, I am yet to acquire the business permit due to new regulations, I have been made aware a unified licence has been introduced which consolidates permits to operate a business. I am required to pay fire licence which has been made compulsory in addition to the business permit which will cost me about 40 dollars additional. I am hoping to raise the amount within a short period of time with the profits I am getting from the shirt sales. Will keep you updated on the progress. comment image
