Hello and good morning my people. Well it’s good to provide training to small business owners but its Sole Proprietory Contracts that’s stifling our economy. I know because I spent fifteen thousand dollars to conduct a study but only to find out that. Three families with name recognition hold eighty six Sole Proprietory Contracts for importing goods into Dominica therefore if you try to open any business in the food industry to compete with them you must do business with such families.
Who is the contact person for this? I would like to participate. Are persons who want to open a small business also eligible?
Who identifing the paticipant who no them?
Open small business then latter down they have to close it down .no money stupes
Negative, Negative, Negative….How about they use their heads and get an innovative Buisiness Idea and make it work in our ‘green’ market, rather than opening a clothes store, or food shop like everyone else thus creating a saturation of competition?……stop being so Negative! or rather, keep it up and Keep it to yourself!
