About Me

am a young man born from a peasant farmer in Kenya. am married with two kids and am also the sole bread winner for some of my simplings' children. I am also involved in educating my brothers and sisters children especially those whose parents went before us to the lord.

My Business

I run a matatu business in Kenya (psv) since it's not everyone who can afford a car in this third world country, it's a flourishing business especially in Kenya which is a third world country. my business gives me a gross revenue of ksh 100,000, with 20%of this going to recurrent expenditure like paying salaries , buying spare parts and general maitainance. Currently my unit has some worn out tyres that I would wish to replace in order to increase my units performance efficiency. kindly be part of this noble idea, and I promise to pay back in full all the monies lent to me in time.

Loan Proposal

I will purchase a new tyre for my psv matatu. I spent alot of time on tyre repair shops and if i had new tyres, i would use that time to do more and make more money. The cost for a new tyre is 55 dollars.

Once i have a new tyre, my matatu won't stop every other time because of tyre repairs. That way i shall maximize on turnovers and hence increase my profit margins.

Because of that, i expect my profit margins to increase by 5 percent.
