But due to physical capital to get materials and machinery to start my own business.l find some companies and work with them for sometime,my goal is owning my own sign company,Later, l decided to pursue my dream of starting my own sign enterprise in my community. After one year I realized that I had found my nitch and now have owned my own sign business for 3years. I set up this business in my area because l find out that no body has this business there so people travel far before they have these services .l started my own business in my town to enable the people in the area to get easy access to graphic designing in my community. My hobbies are , going out with friends. swimming ,

travelling and listening music . Also

hand lettering signs and painting murals is my hobby.l put on spectacles on occationally but that does not mean l have a sight effect.

I design bill board, sign board , school uniforms , make a poster; type a letter; create a business logo, a magazine , an album cover etc without the necessary equipment l am unable to maintain designing . l travels to shops in other communities where l pays to use machines for all of my contracted works. I work at home and l would like to get my own rented shop .There is a demand for this service. My customers prefer my business to others because l impress customers with my professionalism and creativity.The risk is lack of physical capital.
