Client Example:

Sewing business

A young Uyghur man (we’ll call him Luke) has successfully established a private primary school and tertiary training college providing training for 200 adult students. One of the classes taught is sewing. Luke plans to establish a sewing business to employ Uyghur seamstresses to manufacture clothing for sale in Turkey and abroad.

Textiles and clothing is a major business in Turkey so the infrastructure and skills are good. A point of difference will be designs influenced by the Uyghur culture and early clients will be Uyghur-owned clothing shops.

The business plan is completed and funding (from grants and loans) of about 100,000 Turkish Lira (TRY) is required. This equates to about NZD 12,000 or USD 8,100.
