About Me

my name is Alfred Kirui, a 33 year old IT professional and currently venturing into Chicken farming, which had stalled due to land issue which has since been resolved

My Business

Main income source is permanent employment and a little from chicken sales. Employment income is received on 25th and the poultry income depends on how many eggs are produced within the week.

Project Proposal

Resorted to planting maize for silage and need more funds for top dressing fo get more product. Once silage is ready, I plan to buy 3 more dairy cows hence the need to have the feeds ready

    I would like to repay the remaining amount at a go. I was to pay the same on 29th November but I got requests for eggs I didn`t not have in stock hence I had to source it from another seller so as to maintain customer satisfaction

    I will like to pay the full amount on the 25th of November after I sell some eggs on 24th which I have orders for. This will enable me seek more funds for the upgrade project which I will supply photos for.

    There was a slight problem with the new venture but am now back and stable and will be able to repay the remaining loan in 1 month. I am looking at expanding with a little more capital as I am now more comfortable as the business has started giving constant returns

    I managed to sell the first bunch of my produce hence earning me returns which i wish to repay my loan with. I hope this will enable me complete repaying the loan and enable me to seek more for expansion purposes

    Mushroom farming on a small scale has challenges in that the local market is unpredictable in terms of securing buyers on a regular basis. I however can after sometime pay in lump-sum. Increasing the scale of production will enable me satisfy large consumer markets like hotels who require regular and large quantity products hence increasing the profit margin.

    Business has not picked up well and would like to plough back the little i get to make it grow. This will enable me to repay the full amount while also sustaining the business and making it grow in profits. I however plan to repay in lump some whenever profit margin is good. As by my schedule, If i continue with current amount i risk accumulating more than the business can pay since its still at the initial stages
