My Business

my business entail in cereal in this area . i started this business after i bought my first bike and i was used in that business after i was recruited by a local businessman in this area.i was employed for about year and after collecting enough money to start this business i decide to employ myself. the business is profitable and the demand of my service is high in this area because many people know me after i was employed to buy for somebody store. also many people say that my measuring machine measure well not like other business .people .also sometime get money even if the product is not ready to be harvested so that after harvest i will take it but the person have done what he or she have intended with the money.the business is profitable if you made a good relation with the farmer.the main challenge is lack of adequate finance to buy more cereal to transport to the other profitable market. also poor road in the area like the time of the rain which make road inaccessible by lorry.also high price of commodity in this country that accelerated by inflation
