Gladymanuel Ent. Ltd Gladymanuel Trading Enterprises approached
AREED in November 2001 for a loan to distribute energy efficient lamps and Solar PV systems.
The proposal was a 10 page typed document largely devoted to technical features, with an arbitrary request for $200,000 to enable the business to maintain adequate stocks for consistent availability of products on the market.
AREED encouraged the entrepreneur to work electronically (using the computer/internet), both in terms of business plan preparation and also communications with the programme

Gladymanuel Ent. Ltd
Adherence to this advice has had a positive impact in communicationswith suppliers, clients and freight forwarders,
Leading to cost saving on communications. (transport, telephone and fax)
The proposal was prepared from the perspective of the entrepreneur
and did not reflect issues related to the requirements of the AREED program

Gladymanuel Ent. Ltd cont. The proposal was prepared from the
perspective of the entrepreneur and did not reflect vital
indices such as marketing & financial analysis that are critical for
investment decision
AREED provided guidance to allow the entrepreneur to define,
segment and specify the product types that would allow him to operate profitably.

Anasset Company Ltd.
On 11 June, 2002, Anasset approached the AREED programme for financial support for sales and distribution of LPG
The initial proposal submitted to AREED was very ambitious intending to establish
four (3) LPG refilling plants at the same time.
The proposal submitted was basically full of figures with no consideration for the other critical elements of the business
15
Anasset Company Ltd.
The entrepreneur was supported to painstakingly undertake feasibility access
for the business in all the four sites for the proposed business
The result was that only two sites were viable for sitting LPG refilling plants
Based on the results of the feasibility study, the entrepreneur was advised to set up only one refilling plant and also advised to phase the expansion of the business
