The Quest for a Better Future
Sarah had always dreamed of owning her own business, but the path to entrepreneurship seemed daunting. As she scrolled through her phone one evening, the words “Looking for a deal?” caught her eye. It was an advertisement for a small, struggling café up for sale in her neighborhood. Despite her initial hesitation, Sarah felt a spark of excitement ignite within her.
With determination in her heart, she decided to investigate further. The café had potential, but it needed a complete overhaul. Sarah knew she had to act fast if she wanted to seize this opportunity. She reached out to New Standard, a company known for supporting aspiring entrepreneurs, hoping they could provide guidance and resources.
