Kenya - Business creation project

Describe your project or startup in a few words

This business will be dealing with Importation of second-handed clothes in bales and selling to consumers covering the business gap in the market.

01.01 Describe your project in more detail

This particular business deals in the shipment of second-handclothes from different parts of the world. By so doing retailers will be purchasing from the depot in large quantities. This will thereby make goods available in the market since the shipment will be bulky. I've once ventured in this business and can attest that it's really doing great. Will be shipping clothes with different sizes, quality,materials and even durability.

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

By setting up this business alot of things will change. First, the distance in which buyers travel to acquire these essential commodities will be really reduced. Apparently in my county of residence, there are no dealers in this particular business as of now,resulting to people going extra miles for them. Another thing is that by so doing I'll be covering the business gap in the market .

01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your project intends to provide (at least 3).

The distance consumers cover to acquire these products will be reduced hence saving money on transportation fee as well as time. These products will always be available for our consumers whenever needed. This will enhance a competitive market area.

01.04 Please describe who exactly your project is aimed at serving. Who are the targeted beneficiaries?

My targeted beneficiaries is the entire society. This is because we'll be selling to the middlemen in wholesale who will in turn sell in retail form. Aiming at delivering the best services and products.
