Ziva invited a few of her friends and neighbours for a get-together and served snacks and ice cream. Her friends complimented her on the quality of ice cream and could not stop talking about it..They wanted to know whether she could supply to functions in their houses.
Her spouse encouraged Ziva to start a regular business under the brand name “Yummy Ice cream”
Ziva started supplying ice creams at least twice a week and over the next six months she saw her bank balance going up, as the profit margins were close to 35%.
Ziva also collected 50% as advance payment.
Ziva’s demand for ice cream started going up. She employed a woman to help her in preparation and delivery of the orders.
Reputation spreads fast and Yummy ice cream was at least 25% cheaper than well established brands. Nearby restaurants were willing to give regular orders and also promised advance payment for raw material procurement. However she had to give them fifteen day’s credit.
Ziva consulted her husband about the new opportunity as it involved procuring equipments and also renting commercial space since bulk quantities had to be manufactured.
They approached their bank manager who was willing to give overdraft facilities.
Ziva’s spouse took a decision to join the business once the family noticed that their business was expanding rapidly. Ziva’s spouse resigned from his corporate job and joined her. Ziva took responsibility for procurement of materials and manufacturing and her spouse for marketing and administration.
The business ,now, employs 5 women.
A home based business grew to become a medium sized business.
PS; The business attracted attention of a competitor who had registered “yummy ice cream” as a trade mark and threatened legal action.
