The young student from north London previously had success selling drinks and sweets to his schoolmates. He organised the orders on Snapchat, and the other students came to pick them up at recess, with hard cash of course.
This little business generated almost £250 a day and has even had so much success that it now has 11 ‘employees' scattered across 3 different schools. After starting with £5 in his pocket, Nathan ended up making £1,000 a week.
