And one more thing, the business demands you to be trustworthy and no lies.
EN: Sir, why did you say a developing area instead of a main town.
Daniel: The reason why i said anyone who wants to do the business as a sole proprietorship investment should choose a developing area is because the material sells more for average traders in these areas since large cities are now expanding into the less developed area making them a developing area. So if you can start the business by making the materials available for them in these areas, you will have many advantages above those inside town and at the same time, you avoid too much competition which may not be good for a starter.
Big construction companies handling big projects like the roads, building of companies and other massive structures used to get their materials direct from the licenced wholesalers of iron rods or even the manufacturing companies itself.
