Question: Hi, I am 54 yrs now with 20 yrs experience in admin and background from 1993 till now, I can make homemade chocolates, candles, flowers (handmade from wax), porcelain paintings, oil, water, acrylic paintings etc.
I do not know how and whom to approach for getting orders and establish myself.
Also where to obtain the cheapest raw materials for all these manufacturing. These I would like to start with minimal investment and minimal website opening.
Can I get some help, guidance and support? The problem is there is a stiff competition and I have no clue to procure the orders in this stiff competition. Also how to upgrade myself. tks and rgds.
