I failed many times....

EMERGING ENTREPRENEUR

Lots of support received from LankaBangla to go ahead....

Majority people generally don't encourage women to be in business, and that is the main obstacle for the women to enter into business activities and also to become successful in business. Some faced difficulty in getting cash payment from wholesalers, the problems of illiteracy and lack of knowledge, the troubles created through the teasing of women entrepreneurs by young people, the pressure and demand of unusual tolls which created crisis in business transactions, and the conservative mentality of the society and the general public regarding women's business involvement. Women participate more in SME products than large industrial items due to lack of finance, knowledge and other related requisites.
