Follow one of our success stories - ASANTEWAA CHOCOLAT - at asantewaachocolat.com
Missionary Glen Chapman describes living in Congo and helping the Congolese better their quality of life by sawing their own lumber with Wood-Mizer sawmills, in spite of years of war, disease, and starvation.
When embarking upon the idea of developing this exciting and innovative entrepreneurial website initially for Africans we were made acutely aware of the dense fog of unemployment, corruption, socio-economic incongruence and the dearth of business start up information that envelops our continent. We decided that the one thing that will capture the attention of everyone involved was a range of simple yet effective products that will enable individuals to go into business, at any level, for themselves. We wanted our businesses to have a simple structure, scalable as they grew profitable and above all self sufficient with minimum or no borrowing. Don’t rely on funding. Try and self fund your business. It may take longer to reach your goals but being debt-free and answering only to yourself is gratifying, and a great deal less stressful. We have examples to illustrate how people are benefiting from this approach. The contract vegetable or fruit grower in the rural area who suddenly has surplus produce on their hands, because of an unfulfilled order, need not despair. Our manual hand operated pineapple corer and All American Model #225F Master Hand Crank Can Sealer All-American Master Can Sealers seals 150 cans per hour. So an easy going farmer working a four hour shift five days a week can produce 3000 cans of fruit or vegetable produce a week or 12000 cans a month! No electricity, skill or experience is required to perfectly seal tin cans automatically

UNSURPASSED WATER QUALITY
The purified drinking water produced by Blue Spring table-top bottled water production system is of superior quality, which meets U.S. E.P.A. and W.H.O. specifications for drinking water. UNSURPASSED ECONOMY
The unit runs on regular, household current and it recovers as much as 63% of feed water as purified water. Due to low electrical and water consumption, the water purified by Blue Spring table-top bottled water production system costs as little as 1/8th penny (US$ 0.0013) per liter of product water. The bottles and supplies will cost many times more than the purified water.

The bottles and supplies will cost many times more than the purified water.Reverse Osmosis MembraneThe heart of the Blue Spring table-top bottled water production system is an advanced technology reverse osmosis membrane module which definitively removes all kinds of impurities from raw water, including particulates, coloring matter, odor-causing matter, disease-causing micro-organisms, poisonous chemical impurities. It also reduces the salinity of the raw water to a healthy level. Some other types of water filters, like charcoal filters, remove only selected impurities, leaving other impurities behind. Fill-Valve Option: This optional foot-operated fill-valve attaches to the purified water port of the basic water purifier. The semi-automatic filler is designed for increased productivity when filling large number of small bottles in the 250 ml to 1.5 L range, without water spillage in the work area.
Fill-Valve Option:
This optional foot-operated fill-valve attaches to the purified water port of the basic water purifier. The semi-automatic filler is designed for increased productivity when filling large number of small bottles in the 250 ml to 1.5 L range, without water spillage in the work area.
Ozonation Option:
This optional sanitizing system uses dissolved ozone gas, to prolong the shelf-life of bottled water. Ozone is a powerful germicide, which is generated from atmospheric oxygen and then mixed with the purified water produced by the table-top water purifier, prior to bottling. Ozone leaves no taste or odor because it quickly disintegrates into oxygen, which is a tasteless, odorless, natural gas. This option should be used if the bottled water will be stored for more than a week or two, for example, in the grocery stores.
Bottle Cleaner Option:
The optional bottle cleaning system includes a 10 L detergent mixing tank with hand-operated sprayer. The tank can be used to prepare a detergent solution in warm water. The internal surfaces of the bottle are sprayed with detergent solution, the bottle is rinsed with raw water first, followed by purified water, and then filled with purified drinking water. Family-size bottles having 4-20 L capacity can be recycled tens of times, provided that they are cleaned and sanitized periodically. Recycling bottles saves costs, increases profits and also prevents environmental pollution. Ideal for recycling water bottles or glasses within restaurants, hotels, camp-grounds, or remote villages.
Mineralization Option:
Mineral mix is available to impart that “mineral water” taste, which many customers love to have in their drinking water. The mineral mix is available in powdered form, which is convenient for storage and handling. The mineral mix is dissolved in the purified water produced by the bottled water production system. A purified water storage tank and a mixer is necessary to complete the mineralization system. The mineralized water is then dispensed into the bottles.OPTIONS TO EXTEND USEFULNESS ApplicationMax.

Ten Tips to get you through the Start up Phase MARCH 19 TH, 2014 BY WORLDPAY ZINC
SMALL BUSINESS
STARTUPS
So you've decided to start your own business. Great, now what?
We've compiled ten tips to help you take the leap from employee to self-employed.
1. It all starts with an idea
Once you have decided on an idea, stick with it. The more you let people talk you out of it, or compromise on your initial business idea, the less passionate you will become about your new business. Focus on your original goal.
2. Be prepared to operate on a shoestring
For the great majority of start ups, a small budget to start out with is just a fact of life. Don't be disheartened, a little funding and a lot of work can still make your business dream a reality.
3. Find a mentor (or mentors)
Even if an investor doesn't offer you any funding, they may still be able to offer advice. An advisor can be just as valuable as an investor when you are just starting out.
4. Business Plan
Creating a solid business plan will help you to measure how successful your business is, and could become. It will also help you to keep track of your budget. A good mentor will go a long way to creating a great business plan.
5. Set up from home
You do not need a London office to be a successful startup. Keep your overheads low (remember that shoestring budget) as long as possible.
6. Use the digital tools available to you
There are so many online opportunities available to businesses who are setting up today. Build a free website, reach out to VCs and influencers on Social Media, create a vibrant customer community who will share your product with their social network. The internet offers a wealth of free small business tools.
7. Image matters
Take some time to create a brand profile. You may not have the budget for expensive logos or web design, but you can create inexpensive business cards and a good company name without a lot of outlay. Be creative and get your new business out there.
8. Dream big
Create goals for yourself. Aim high, even if it seems unreasonably high at the time, and push yourself to achieve those goals. Most importantly, make sure your employees, mentors, and support network are behind you.
9. Don't give up
At some point or another you will start to question yourself. Did I aim too high? Have I wasted my time and money? Am I in too deep? Don't doubt yourself and don't give up. Go back to the plan and focus on your original business goal.
10. Keep track of your finances
As a small business it is important that you keep on top of your finances. Manage your cashflow by making sure your book-keeping is up to date, keep your business funds separate from your personal and last but not least, give your clients and customers convenient ways to pay so that they don't have to rely on the cash in their wallets, and you don't have to chase payments.

Take some time to create a brand profile. You may not have the budget for expensive logos or web design, but you can create inexpensive business cards and a good company name without a lot of outlay. Be creative and get your new business out there.
8. Dream big
Create goals for yourself. Aim high, even if it seems unreasonably high at the time, and push yourself to achieve those goals. Most importantly, make sure your employees, mentors, and support network are behind you.
9. Don't give up
At some point or another you will start to question yourself. Did I aim too high? Have I wasted my time and money? Am I in too deep? Don't doubt yourself and don't give up. Go back to the plan and focus on your original business goal.
10. Keep track of your finances
As a small business it is important that you keep on top of your finances. Manage your cashflow by making sure your book-keeping is up to date, keep your business funds separate from your personal and last but not least, give your clients and customers convenient ways to pay so that they don't have to rely on the cash in their wallets, and you don't have to chase payments.
RUN A SUCCESSFUL CHOCOLATE MAKING BUSINESS

ARTISAN / HANDMADE CHOCOLATE WORKSHOPS
We hope to turn normal industry practice on its head by training local people in artisan or handmade chocolate making, using small cocoa processing and chocolate making equipment, local ingredients, local labour and creating a whole value chain around this new enterprise. By providing advice and technical assistance we will reverse the normal trend, which is to add all the value in North America, Australia, Europe and the Far East giving only the value of the commodity to the cocoa growing economy. Through setting up local chocolate academies, cooperatives and workshops under our Artisan Chocolate
Programme( > FAIR TRADE), in cocoa producing areas in Africa(especially West Africa) and by keeping both sourcing and production in the country of origin, we will encourage the export of high quality artesian chocolates and increase the income of cocoa growers and chocolatiers.
We assisted an African cacao grower make cocoa products in the UK. Visit his website ASANTEWAA CHOCOLAT on asantewaachocolat.com
RUN YOUR SUCCESSFUL BEE KEEPING ENTERPRISE
Local, Sustainable Bars Made Where the Cocoa Grows
A recent trend has been too many graduates and not enough jobs. For example in the UK 47% of recent graduates are working in non- graduate jobs where their task do not require a degree. Exacerbating the problem a growing number of graduates are poorly matched with the skills their job requires. This situation is not dissimilar in Africa. African graduates must be made aware that degrees and skills are not ornaments to be worn and adorned they are tools to be used. They must not confine themselves to the narrow straight jacket of any profession instead they have to adjust or adapt to changing socio-economic environments . We have accountants who now operate their own auto bodyshops, engineers becoming successful chocolatiers and lawyers running their food delivery outlets and restaurants. In these trying times change is the only constant. You cannot eat your degree! If it is to be it is up to you. Behave like an African chameleon adapt and succeed.
