Back to business - Nolan's comeback in Manchester

Nolan has run a fish stall for fifteen years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,750 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Manchester. In July, a long illness and repossession took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 weeks. This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment. Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $3,750 goes: • Replacing a freezer and scales: $2,250 • Initial stock: the first catch: $440 • Shop repairs and licensing: $500 • Working capital for the first month: $560 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
