Business Plan
I plan to seek contract opportunities in the Montgomery area and foster relationships with other warehouses requiring logistics support I am a veteran woman with over 20 years of experience managing resources and personnel. I believe that there is a shortage of available logistical support for smaller businesses and that the number of companies requiring logistical support will continue to grow. I also believe that, just like other women seeking opportunities to start a business. However, they face challenges that come with being single parents and balancing the desire to gain financial income that allows them to be available when their child needs them.
