Their first major difficulty they faced when starting their operation was
lack of sufficient initial capital. According to their responses, this problem
has become more critical when they intend to expand their businesses. The
other problems they faced later were:
1. Shortage of information of goods in a current market
2. Shortage of supply of raw materials
3. Lack of interaction with the same other business
4. Lack of working experience
5. Marketing problems
6. Credit problems
Marketing challenges as I have said earlier the workers of this
association were among the member of the association, as they are
fresh for these kind of business, they had lack of experience in serving
their customers. And also the abnormal competition or negative images
of the competitors were their core challenges.
Financial challenge the shortage of money was the main challenge
of their business and their vision. Because of these problems they
were unable to run their business as their need, especially at the time
they opened the first shop they were suffered from working [starting]
capital problem.
Management challenges the main challenges of the management
were image building, coordinating the workers, creating awareness
about the business and other related bottlenecks.

their workers initiative and willing to do over a long time ,even also they are
more profitable since as they grow up/develop their potential to solve the
problems/challenges i listed above. In my opinion to have a good business
you must face many problems and you must tackle/overcome all these
problems, and it is that after this a successful business will come.
