1. Introduction
In this report I have been asked to pick an enterprise activity and explain what that activity is. Enterprise is a business venture idea which either involves selling goods or a service.
The enterprise activity I have chosen is a stationary store inside of college. I have chosen this enterprise activity because it will help students that may have forgotten their equipment for lessons and are in need of a piece of equipment. I will also be explaining the methods of investigation I have used and the resources.
2. Main Body

Also there may be trouble about the place to sell the products from; the college could change their...
