Description:
I am seeking capital for an e-commerce start-up company. Its primary product is electronics. Electronics & technology has been my passion ever since I could remember. I envision a company that will auction/sell used & new electronics online as well as at a physical storefront by innovation of both venues. By working on this start-up part-time for almost a year and with a small investment of $500, I was able to grow the business into having over $2500 in monthly sales. I bought used & new electronics from liquidators. I started selling just digital cameras with a lot of success. I eventually sold Apple products and XBox 360 products by learning how to repair them. I am confident in my managing abilities to operate this company, because of my past success of selling electronics with limited capital. Furthermore, my ability to adapt to new market & industry changes with a great passion has been very useful. I named it You-Mart because I envision this company to become the largest retailer of electronics, as Wal-Mart is the largest retailer of groceries with the appeal and usability of You-Tube. I love this business with every cell of my being and would be willing to work as long as it takes to grow this business.
