Business takes time.

What products do you offer, and how did you come up with the idea?

How do you market your business?

Through social media and word of mouth.

What makes your business unique?

We offer different types of soaps, including special ones just for kids!

What role has the community played in your business journey?

The community has inspired little kids and future entrepreneurs by giving us places to sell, like the Hunar Expo and Bohra Bazaar these events help us show our business to more people, and we get to learn from other sellers too. It’s really fun!

What do you think would help more young entrepreneurs succeed?

Giving us feedback on our products!

Where do you see your business in five years?

Inshallah, we want it to be like Friendly Crystals, our grandparents’ business.

Do you plan to grow your business full-time, or do you have other future goals?

We’re not sure yet!

What advice would you give to other young people who want to start a business?

Start with one product, then expand!

Fun fact about you?

We participated in the Little Acorns Expo!

If you could collaborate with any brand, who would it be?

We’d love to collaborate with wooden toy brands because they are natural and come from trees.

If you could describe your business in one sentence, what would it be?

“We’re young people selling soaps, candles, and shower steamers!”
