Challenges you faced or facing
Starting a small business surely comes with its challenges. Being a female entrepreneur, the first and foremost challenge is managing both personal and professional commitments. For small businesses that aren't household name, finding customers is particularly difficult and then engaging customers and retaining them can be more demanding. Making a presence and brand awareness on social media is another challenge in this era of digital world. Acquisition of pure organic resources was also a major challenge that we faced. As the business grows, balancing quality and growth is another demanding task. Currently due to Covid-19, the business is facing constraints because of market closure, human resource unavailability and delivery issues.
