Marbles Inc. is a start- up Company manufacturing marbles and elastic bands. The Company imports its raw materials from France, but based on its business model expects that within the next 6 months it will be able to manufacture its own products. These will be sold locally in Grenada, with further plans for export to the wider Caribbean and Latin America. As such, a lot of Marketing and promotion will be required to get the product off the ground to meet this business target. Also, due to this projected expansion, machinery will have to be purchased to create the products.
