M.E: Allure Graphix means Attractive Graphics from the word allure. We create compelling visuals that meets our clients business objectives

M.E: 4 of us
AMO: so how has the business environment been especially when you started and what has kept your business flowing?
M.E: What kept the business going is the results we produce and our clients and other people love it and the business environment has been good
AMO: did you need much to start up as young entrepreneurs feel it's expensive to start a business?
M.E: We started with a few thousands and we built from there
(What a few thousand started )
AMO: wow that's nice and I guess that's also very encouraging but what has been the challenges you faced?
M.E: First electricity, then network problem when its time to deliver a job to a client far away. Emmmm... That's basically it

AMO: So from experience could you relate to those start up companies or young business owners? (final words)
M.E: Most young people out there complain that there is no money to start a business, I asked a guy what what his plans for business are and right there,he started thinking. First u don't need money to start anything. Get your ideas and draw out your plan, after that naturally and easily, you'll figure out a way to get the cash. I mean I won't believe u if u tell me u need N2million to start a business without see any laid down plan. So work on your ideas first.
AMO: Thanks so much for your time
M.E: You're welcome and thank you
