This business will contemplate a 50-50 equal partnership.
We have registered the name of the business with the Department of Trade and Industry and Local Government Unit.

The location that we have chosen is on Sunset Boulevard and the shop number is 5. It is 3,000 square feet shop available next to ABC stationery shop and we think it is an ideal location to set up our office for XYZ Landscaping business.
