Rebekah Carter

Before the digital era began, if you wanted to run a store, you needed a physical, brick-and-mortar location. That meant that starting a business was often a difficult process. After all, not every would-be entrepreneur had the cash required to buy their own building.

Now, we’re living in a slightly different world. The evolution of the internet has introduced an exciting new industry, where creativity and passion are more important than real-estate.
