In The Beginning phase, aspiring entrepreneurs can begin their journey in the Potholes Repair industry with little to no financial investment. This phase is all about showcasing commitment and resourcefulness. Entrepreneurs in The Beginning phase make use of nearby sand and waste (non-recyclable)to fill potholes, utilising improvised tools they can find to carry sand and cover the potholes. They display commitment by consistently monitoring the potholes and sweeping the sand back into the holes as it gets eroded by passing vehicles.
The U Can Company plays a crucial role by providing guidance, mentorship, and access to basic resources during The Beginning phase. We support entrepreneurs in developing their skills, understanding road repair techniques, and implementing best practices.
