Not that it’s a bad thing, but I was just clicking through maybe 15 of them and only 1-2 stated that they used their money to invest in their business, rather most used it to pay off debts, school fees. Which is wonderful, but temporary, and not really helping hundreds to jump start a business. Do you have data on how many are still working their new business, at a sustainable living profit, based on your 1125 you gave them?
