Entrepreneurship Support For The Youth
The engine of the Nigerian economy is her ever-active private sector, peopled by creative, devoted workers and industrious, relentless entrepreneurs providing innovative solutions to needs. From the fruit meals and smoothie maker to the 2-man campus laundry business to the several fashion retail enterprises on Instagram, there is always a compelling argument for starting your own business in Nigeria. However, the extremely harsh business environment for small and medium scale businesses results in really poor survival rates (1 in 5).
And even for that one business, survival is negotiated on a day-to-day basis as a result of insufficient power, high loan rates, bad road networks, and several environmental factors. In short, the journey to the page of Forbes for the average Nigerian business owner can be long and extremely tedious.
At PFF, we want to support these brave individuals to succeed beyond the 1st year and we want to even the odds of survival to 3 out of 5.
