    I am not an NGO. I wanted to but the registration procedure is cumbersome. I a duly registered business name that is into computer training and services whose aim is to provide wealth creation services for school children in computer based fashion designing, e-print, auto alignment and wheel balancing, photographs etc. Also to train students in information processing and analysis for businesses. I only need basicinfrastructural support and takeoff grants or loan to launch this business idea. Can I be assisted?
