Christmas Tree Startup

Richard Branson started his first Startup when he was at school. His plan was to plant 400 Christmas Trees in the field behind his house and wait a year for them to grow large enough to sell.

He planted 400 seeds and hoped to make £2 a tree - a profit of £795 after taking out the £5 cost of the seeds.Unfortunately when he came back from his boarding school for the summer holidays there were only a couple of tiny plants growing - the rest had been eaten by rabbits.
