We never get money from investors. Once we loaned $7000 and it was very difficult to pay back. When you start a cafe it takes at least 3 or 4 years to establish, so it’s difficult paying anybody. Also, we cleaned, painted and did our decor ourselves. When it came to furniture and equipment we bought everything second hand. Our first cafe cost us $20,000 to set up.
