Marzie Trading, the company name, would provide high quality bond paper and copy paper with a substance of 16, 20, 24 and 28. The company would focus on paper, and it also intended to provide information regarding the opportunity of introducing the trade enterprise to the market. To put up the trading center, the proponents accomplished all the requirements in creating a business for them to operate. They considered the operational, marketing, and financing requirements before setting up and managing the business. The owner and manager of the company must select and hire a sales agent. Based on the computed income statement, the company could get a 10% projected income annually.
