My Business

About My business I operate on small scale business because of lack of funds to expand the business.
The business is operated by one person thtats me. And sometimes do recruit people to help in when there's work overload of i have to pay the for more labour.
The amount I would like to borrow is US $80/=. With this amount US$ 80/=, I will buy Potting Bags which will cost US 40 DOLLAR ,and the remaining 40 US DOLLARS will buy a Farming Tools Planting rope costing 5 US DOLLAR, Digging Tool 10 US DOLLAR, Knapsack Sprayer 25 US DOLLAR.
The area is a very potential place for this kind of business because there are no such kind of business around the area.
The demand for Seedlings is high because its located close to farming lands where most of the farms are virgin.
The profit I will get from this business I will use to expand it in order to accommodate more employees .

The pesticides I will buy 2ltr of Emaron costing 16US Dollar, and the foliar Macromix costing 13 US dollar,fungicides 20 US dollar and the balance will buy DAP FERTILIZER 40 US DOllars.
