About Me

My names are Erick Ndwiga Kenya citizen by birth, am the 1st born in the family of three, I live in Kitengela town which is located off Mombasa road, i operate a cab business/ company which is situated in upperhill Rahimtullar towers, I cleared my ‘O’ level in the year 2009 and joined University of Eldoret where i studied Diploma in Tourism and wildlife management and cleared in April 2013, I will be graduating in December this year for my Diploma. I decided to start up a cab business because i didn’t want to sit down and wait for my graduation day yet i needed money for my personal use. I love playing football and traveling or visiting historical sites. I

My Business

My business is on the transport or rather Tourism industry in Nairobi Kenya, Tourism has peak and off peak seasons so not full time , i sometimes get bookings with companies like Pwc Kenya and Ecolab East Africa and friends, for me to have a fleet of car's i have to start somewhere and for sure one day my dreams will be valid, as an entrepreneur i believe, Food,Accommodation and Transportation is the way to go.so my side business falls on the Food sector, i started with chicken or Poultry, which is supports my Transportation business

Loan Proposal

I wish to apply for a 5th Loan of $ 1,000 payable in equally monthly instalment if $ 50 weekly.
The Loan will help me to purchase an additional motor bike which will cost about $ 1500. The balance of $ 500 I will finance from the business saving.
Lately I have experienced a big challenge because I cannot meet demand of my clients to supply eggs and Poultry meat on timely basis due to lack of adequate and reliable transport.
I have incurred some losses when I tried to hire for motor bike services where the rider either never show up for a scheduled supply or are late which is compromising my client confidence on reliable supply.
My 4th Loan was very helpful since I purchased the first Motorbike which has really helped in my supply, very efficient and reliable. This has helped my business to grow and boost confidence of my clients.
Am looking forward for your positive consideration for above loan. Thank you in advance
Sincerely
Erick Nthiga Ndwiga

    Hello lenders, am so sorry I have delayed payments, I bought a pick up from the Government of Kenya at a good price that is by Auction ,but the repairs of the vehicle costed me more than I expected, finally the vehicle is now in good condition and will then need to go for inspection to get the number plates but unfortunately I don't have enough cash for the duty and registration now but I will get the cash by end of next month, please bear with me.

    Hello Lenders,I had earlier a message explaining the current situation and i was to pay on monthly basis before i recover ,so it was not a permanent change but has seemed not to work,it is sad this has happened,but I promise you after my first pay I will pay a good amount,I had to adjust my repayment amount if the monthly schedule can't work at this time,sorry for inconveniences caused
