I am a uni student studying in Asia, I’m from East Africa however. I know there are many rules and regulations around doing any kind of business but I want to have an idea on something that could work. My initial idea was to import coffee beans/tea from the country where I’m from, as it’s a large producer of the product. I intend on bringing it here, and distributing it. I don’t wanna get into specifics of things yet as it’s still just an idea. I would love to know what you think and any tips for such a business 🙂 And yes I do definitely intend on doing this with the help of my parents and friends, giving me a better chance of success.
