Sakwa,

I am not familiar with the Kenyan government, but I would suggest looking for some sort of workforce development agency or a charitable organization that offers grants to people looking to start new businesses. Perhaps they will be able to provide you with money for your start-up costs or assist you in applying for a low interest loan.

Good luck!

Hello, I am in Kenya and interested to start my own small home based embroidery business but cannot afford to buy a new machine, is there a way out for people like me?

Margaret,

Unfortunately, most experts don't recommend starting a home-based craft experience unless you already have several years of experience in one particular crafting area. However, most specialty stores that sell embroidery machines offer training resources to help you learn to use their merchandise. I would strongly recommend devoting several months to learning how to master the machine of your choice before you begin developing your business plan.

Good luck!

I would like to learn more about embroidery machines and how to work them. Do you know of any schools that offer this kind of training in California? My goal is to start a business. Please help! Thanks.
