Hey guys! How are you? This is my first post. I want to ask you something that always trouble me. I will give two examples related to my parents. As I said, I live in Argentina so it might be a little bit different to the states.
My dad is a one man ps4 game distribution. He constantly re invests all his capital to buy new games. And he practically sells ALL he can buy with the money within the week. The amount of money he can invest limits him by a lot. For example, if he buys 1000 dollars worth of games he earns 8%, 80 dollars. Lets say his total capital is not that much. So he is reinvesting(I dont know the exact amount) but probably around 50000 dollars. He is growing really slowly as of that 8%, 5% probably goes to cost of living. He tells me that if he could get 100000 dollars of games he would sell them all. The demand is there but he cant with that little money.
Another example is my mom. Who owns a bijouterie business. Its a good business that her father founded many years ago. It consists of one store. She buys the products once a year. And then sells them with large profit gains. But the business is not growing. If she could have the capital to rent/buy new stores in more turistical places, eg: patagonia, or another latin america country. She would probably be growing 1000% faster.
I am aiming towards a web based service to counter this. But in cases like this how can you change it? How do you get more capital?
