What Inspired You Into The Business?

Well, after searching for a white-collar job and I couldn’t get any. Then my consistent stays at home make me realised we do have over 12 hours of power supply in my Family house. Then I begin to ask myself what can I do with this light as a lot of business do complain how much they need resources at my disposal wasting, at that point I decide to take the advantage by thinking I can actually start a laundry business because of the light. That’s how I started the business in my Family house using my hand to wash and today we are becoming a household name in the cleaning industry.
