What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

My current challenges

I need help with my business plan and developing my business identity. Since I haven't started as yet, I want to understand some of the challenges that I may run into with my business including finding local manufactures, pricing, packaging and organic advertising strategies.


About my venture

My business specializes in womens clothing and accessories and aims to supplement the popular businesses that the average woman settles for because of affordability and quality. This business is important to me because I've been that woman who shopped at one of the current popular stores and finally found something I loved, only to be one of many in the same room wearing the same exact thing. What I provide will be exclusive and new to the market so that women are always on top of the trend. I signed up for the SEAP program and the process requires me to get a business mentor.

Countries of operation: United States of America
