Government Regulation

All business should adhere to certain government regulations. First, the manager will register

the business with the Registrar of Companies in order to show that it is a legal operating entity.

This will enhance the image of the entity in that customers can feel safe while conducting

business with LUXURY COLLECTION CLOTHES STORE as it will not be an illegal entity.

Secondly, the business will obtain a Tax Registration Number (TRN), in order to pay taxes on

time and in the correct proportion as it is stipulated by the government that all legal operating

entity in the country should pay taxes. In doing this, the business will have a good reputation

both in the eyes of the government and its customers.

The managers also need to obtain a license in order to offer the goods it has conceptualized.

Failure to abide these regulations will result in the business facing serious penalties and business

or law suits against customers due to damage of their clothes.

13

Ethical Issues

There are a lot of issues a business can encounter when dealing with workers and customers.

These issues usually involve the ethical code for ‘behavior’.

The major ethical issue to be faced is showing respect to workers and customers. Lacking respect

will lead to loss of customers and grievances among workers. This will be a great disadvantage to

the business because the customers will be providing the business with profit and the workers will

be providing the services.

This will be ensued by holding relations seminars to teach workers to communicate or relate with

each other and customers in order to satisfy demands. This will therefore boost the reputation of

the business thus increasing the volume of sales.

Another ethical issue that the business will ensure is that customers will choose their design and

take their measurement. This will be ensured because if this is not done customers will complain

that there clothes are not fittig them properly or that’s not the way they did want it to make.
