Project title: Developping NuNanny both locally (Cape Town) and in other places (franchising)
Overall project description:
We want to grow the business to service the tourism market (Villa companies, AirBnb’s, hotels etc). We need funding for marketing & additional admin support. There is also room for growth to expand our service to other holiday destination hotspots like Plettenberg Bay. This will require recruitment, training nannies & marketing.
