Introduction

For this coursework assignment, I was asked

In this coursework I have decided to open a new business. The type of business I have chosen to set up is a retail shop selling Islamic books and cassettes. The shop will be called “Abu Bakr bookstore” and will be situated in the high street, of Burnley. The aim of the business is to provide Islamic books and Islamic goods to its customers at affordable prices.

  • There is a lot of Muslims in Burnley and near by localities.
  •  It is situated on a main road.
  • There is a good transport link.

Drawbacks of my business are that to influence customers to come and buy goods from my store rather going to the regular shops and buying from there. ...
