Use orders and customer conversations to test demand before spending all your capital.
Zimbabwean life rewards people who plan carefully, compare information and ask the right questions before spending money. This practical guide gives you a starting system you can adapt to your own household, town and income.
Sell the smallest version first
Pre-orders, a weekend pop-up or a limited service package reveal more than compliments. Test one customer group, one offer and one delivery method before expanding.
Protect working capital
Separate the money needed to replace stock from profit. Record every fee, delivery cost and damaged item so you know whether sales are producing cash.
Make it work for your situation
Write down your real numbers, confirm anything that changes frequently and keep evidence of important transactions. A small repeatable habit is more useful than a perfect plan that is never used.
