Meet Tosin
Miss. Tosin is a 37 Married woman living and working in Lagos. She is a mother and has a Secondary
School leaving
certificate. She is a hairdresser by profession, currently an employer and also an entrepreneur.
Tosin’s dream is to open her own ultra-modern salon to bring to bare her over 14 years’ experience
but is however
constrained due to her financial capacity.
Tosin has a side hustle where she does home service for customers and also sells attachments to
them. Tosin has no
available space to create a sales stop but makes do with providing the attachment to her customers.
After the 2nd training module, Tosin started off with N30,000 of her saved funds to start selling
her Attachments and
hair accessories from a make shift space while still keeping her day job. She has since recorded
good sales and is
willing to add more items to meet the demands of the customers. She has been fortunate enough to
restock biweekly and is
putting into practice all that she has learnt at the training, which include stocks, value and
pricing, overheads and
how it is appropriately accounted for, attracting customers, retaining and increasing profits and
the imperative need to
save towards building a working capital for business but also towards unforeseen circumstances.
Impact of Seed Grant
Miss Tosin has not used her Seed Grant but has rather saved it in her bank account.
