What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

My current challenges

My current challenges right now is that I don't have enough capital to get started. I do have potential investors in mind and also a funding from SEDA, a government agency in South Africa that funds start up companies and also operating companies. So I don't know whether it will be a good idea to start off the company on a loan from the bank since I don't have a cargo van right now to get me started. I need advise in this area and towards the whole journey.

Actions I’ve taken so far

So far I have drafted a business plan, did some market research of my area were I'll be operating. The company is already incorporated under the law of South Africa and is registered under the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC).

My future goals

-In the next two years of operating, I want this company to expand from being a residential cleaning company to be a commercial cleaning company and create more job opportunities. -In the next five years of operating, I want this company to be one of the leading corporate commercial cleaning company in the whole city of Durban, South Africa.

My motivations to work with a mentor

This journey I am about to embark on, is a journey that I have never taken before. This road is new to me. I wanna talk to someone who have travelled on this road before. I wanna talk to someone who have started a business and failed at some point, but that person did not give up instead he/she tried again. Now That's my motivation to work with a mentor.
