Business for Older People
It is often thought that entrepreneurship is for younger people, when in fact many who set up businesses tend to be elder people.
One of these people is Daksha Kumar, the Sales Director of The Indian Kitchen. She started her business when she was 59 and her food company is running quite well. Her kitchen now packs meals for Tesco after they asked if she would provide for their Asian food range. Daksha's motto is, "you're never too old to do anything".
This is the same motto Prime work by. Prime is a charity that was set up by Prince Charles with the purpose of helping over 50s set up a business. They believe that with elder peoples' many experiences and life skills they have an advantage, and with a large number of unemployed in their late 50s and early 60s starting a business is the ideal opportunity for them.
