HELP START MY ON-LINE 3D PRINTING BUSINESS

My Business Goal

I would like to start an on-line 3D printing shop. The shop will focus on a number of 3D printed products and services:

• Printing and selling miniature figures for hobby painting and table top gaming.
• Custom printing for individuals.
• Printing prototype parts / products for individuals and companies.

These products and services will expand as the business grows.

My Story

My name is Wynand and I am a 30-year-old male living in South Africa with my two brothers. After losing my job of four years in the hospitality industry, and being unable to find employment, I decided to start my own business. Unfortunately, I do not have the funds to do this. I am a hard worker and willing to do whatever it takes to make the business work but I need financial help to make a start.

What will I do with extra funds received after reaching my goal?

The miniature figures that I will be selling in my store will be licensed by making use of Merchant Tiers on Patreon to provide 3D models for printing and selling.

Should I receive more funds than my set goal, I will use the money to purchase a computer which will be capable of running CAD software, enabling me to also design my own products.

Funding will go towards.
