Successful Launch — Francis B.

Not all businesses are successful. Francis’ story starts out well. He started a small business making and selling plantain chips, and began to earn some profit. A year later, skyrocketing inflation in his country caused his costs to rise more than he could sell his products for.

Francis came to Growth Partners looking for help.

“I had a plan to re-start my business, but I wanted to grow it in a bigger way, and I needed some help. I formed a partnership with Growth Partners and we began to put the pieces in place — a facility location, equipment, raw materials, production employees, and a sales team. Now we have the business up and running! I have learned so much from my Growth Partner advisors. And we’re just beginning to move forward. Our current operation will soon accomplish 5x what my business reached in my first attempt on my own. And we realistically believe that we can grow this business 10 to 50 times more than our current level. I can tell you — I’m excited!”
