I am a 35 year old muslim South African male, who has been working in the Ice cream industry most of my adult life. In 2003 I was retrenched from the company I managed for reasons that may include discrimination. So for the past two years I have been trying to start my own ice cream company, but without any luck.
I have exhausted all possibilities in South Africa and have discovered why I have not been able to do so. Most of the financial institutions are either owned or controlled by non-Muslims and the money they would be investing would be coming from a Haraam source.
Over the years I have gained all the experience required to make a success of my own business and with the Grace and the Mercy of Allah (swt) and the right Halaal investment I can revolutionize the Ice cream industry in South Africa and put back into my Islamic community and help my poorer non muslim neighbours, after all Islam is a religion of tolerance and a helping hand to our fellow mankind.
The business requires an investment of USD 1,250,000. The investment can take place in the form of a loan and a share or just shares or whatever you feel comfortable with.
The business will have a net accumulative profit over a five year period of USD 3,400,000. So if the investment was in the form of a loan, the business would have paid it back in full and you would be able make a profit of USD 1,700,000 if you held on to a 50% share holding.
For a full business plan with financials feel free to contact me.

I am seriously looking at taking a franchise abroad...I am from South Africa as well..Maybe you should contact me and we can work on this concept together...
What company did you work for? I do not have such capital available, but we can maybe work on this together and I can assist where possible.
