What happened? Stories like this make me smile and sad at the same time. Happy because it reminds me I am doing something right as my ventures are doing OK, sad because it can also happen to me. How long have you been in business? Are you quitting kabisa or you will take a stab at the biashara again? Why don’t you look for job and try to run the business on the side? Looking back, what mistakes have led to the failure of your biz? Pole for the maswali mingi, but whenever I see women entrepreneurs (or any entrep for that matter) close their businesses, it bugs me to no end.

In the words of Steve Jobs: I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. Methinks this is very true; people give up way too easily. Remember, everything takes twice as long and costs twice as much.

it's sad to see another entrepreneur give up. What happened, cashflow?

I can't picture myself being employed waiting for end month to collect a payslip but all the best

Many start-up close because of lack of customers. I hope yours was not in that category, yet you are a marketing and sales expert!
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

@suwan sole trader is not necessarily better than partnership. The later has more heads, more potential to raise funds.

You probably fell short in the following areas: agreeing on liabilities, ownership, profits, and when one partner leaves.

Lesson; partner with people you know very well.
