Cartoon Costumes (CC) Ava is an entrepreneur. After leaving school she set up CC as a private limited company and she owns 100% of the shares. CC sells 'dressing up' costumes (outfits) for children using ecommerce. Each costume is based on popular TV and movie characters that appeal to children. CC owns a large sewing machine which Ava uses to create the costumes. Each costume is made from brightly coloured materials which CC purchases in bulk. Ava has to produce more inventory to grow the business. This can be expensive so Ava is thinking of using crowdfunding to finance this growth. CC has completed its second full year of trading.
