To ensure that there is business continuity the company proactively seeks binding contracts with reputable organizations which guarantees the company consistent business irrespective of the level of supply.
To overcome the initial barriers to entry, the company held meetings with the relevant industry stakeholders which reduced on repugnant practices from competition. The company has overcome this challenge and endeavours to synchronize work practices to enable it increase its market niche.
