Help Economics Student Build Home Business!

Fundraising campaign by Joe Porter

Reading, uk

Hello! And welcome to my donations page!

My name is Joe. I am 18 years old, just completed my A Levels and I am currently taking a gap year before going to university to study Economics and Finance.

I thought I could spend this year trying to gain experience in running my own online business before going to university (where they can teach me how to do it properly)

Should this business take off, it will help me fund my studies at university.

I'm going to be honest with you - this is going to be a learning experience. I will keep this page posted on the ups and downs of my business - updates and events will be shared throughout the year.

All I need now is the funding to set up my shops and begin running product tests (the expensive bit!)

Thank you for clicking onto my page, and I would greatly appreciate a share on any social media!

Update 3.0 - My Apology and Thanks

Update posted by Joe Porter On Nov 07, 2019

Hello all,

First, I would like to apologise for not fulfilling my promises in the previous update. There have been some technical issues which slowed the process down, however this is no excuse for not updating this page.

Regarding the business, the 'technical issues' where unavoidable accounting issues that have now been resolved. I can finally start using your kindly donated money to purchase assets and hopefully get some shops up and running for Christmas.

Thanks again to all whom followed and supported this campaign and I wish you all the best.

Post-Update Edit:

I will continue to do updates on my progress, however they will be on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FundMyOnlineBusiness/
