January 15th, 2011 | 
Author: After the success of the first Business Bomba Business Plan Competiion, the second edition is now underway with business plan application date closing yesterday 14th of January, 2011. A short list of 60 business plans will be made out of the total of more than 400 applications so far for intense training and finally the deserving winners will be selected. Winner will walk away with Le100million leones (about $25,000) which is not bad at all!
The first Business Bomba, helped a great deal and at the here are pictures of some of the products currently on the market by 3 of the Top 20 prize winners.
Moringa Tea
I’ve tasted it and it’s similar to Green Tea. Tastes better without milk. and oh I add honey from another Business Bomba winner
Organic Honey
This is my favourite of all! This honey doesn’t cake in the fridge as most of the imported others you get at the super market 
If you are a wholesaler/retailer and you fancy pure organic honey, just send me a note and I’ll get back to you. This product is pure Salone joy!
Dr Eammons Pineapple Juice
Contains about 6% alcohol. Having tasted it, it’s not bad at all. The labelling can be better but this is a Sierra Leone product worth exporting!
There are at least 3 more products- like cattle farming, cocoa plantation and cassava factory – that I know about which the respective owners have developed and are very promising…
Update
Recently bought home-made sierra leone chocolate…hmmm things are happening….. will bring you more info on that one.

Registering A Business In Salone – A 1-Day Wonder?
Errrrhhh…..well no! It takes more than a day and infact I’ll recount here my experience of registering a new business here in Sierra Leone – For those of you in the UK, it’s similar to setting up your company at companies house and getting a certificate for it. As write, I’m still in the process of getting the registration. This is my first post about it, will write
OK, I went to the Business Registration Center (NRA) on Tuesday the 26th Of January, 2010. First of all, there were so many people in front of the building, I wasn’t sure what they were doing there. When I entered, I wasn’t sure where to go: there wasn’t any obvious receptionist or any visible directions for those who want to set up. What was available, though, were posters on the wall stipulating the various costs involved. This is a good as it’ll cut down on a great deal of backhandedness. (“For lack of knowledge….”)

TANCon Business Conference This Weekend at the Taia Resort.
Although, the investment conference that took place in London is over, but there’s still a lot of interest in Sierra Leone as an investment destination.
I went to a conference on private investment yesterday (continuing today) and it was interesting to see that there are international investors that have plenty of money to invest. The question is are there viable business to invest.
In the past some have taken their money back as they found no businesses or indeed viable business plans worthy of their cash, but I hope not this time.
C’mon , Mama Salone, let’s show them that indeed this is a good place to invest!
