Business Dynamics and Challenges
Business Activities:
XNH Enterprise buys day-old chicks, raises them, and sells them as free-range chickens once they reach maturity. Additionally, some of these chicks are raised to become egg layers. When the egg-laying hens reach the end of their productive lives, they are sold.
Challenges/Needs:
One of the major challenges faced by XNH Enterprise was the inadequacy of the chicken coop. The existing structure was a temporary and incomplete setup, which limited the number of chickens and layer hens. As a result, the capacity for raising chickens and producing eggs was limited. To address this challenge, the business required funding to construct a permanent, high-quality chicken coop that could accommodate a larger number of poultry, including both broiler and layer chickens. Additionally, to meet the increasing demand for affordable eggs, the business needed to increase the number of layer hens to boost daily egg production.
The client required funding of R250 000.
