About Me

am an adult aged 27 years .Holder of a Diploma in Sales and marketing ,Diploma in Graphic design and Certificate in Computer applications.
i worked as a marketing executive for an insurance company for one year and later joined a workshop company(garage) as a marketing manager where i worked for two years and left to venture into business. while i worked with this companies is when i started my business and allocated my wife to manage the business as i continued to add more capital to it.
for the 1st 3 months the business was so challenging because i had to pay rent from my pocket .
currently am A National youth council official for Embakasi District.I tell you this is an elective position which i had to compete for. I contested for it in the year 2010 and managed to be selected with 200 votes. Before entering into the contest, the Government had indicated that it was a paid up position but later turned voluntary. Most of the contestants including me spent a lot of resources before they were elected but up to date we have never seen even a coin from the government . We encouraged ourselves and decided to move on with voluntary work of helping the youth within our region on drug abuse, importance of peace, enlighten them about the constitution and their rights and also encouraging them on the importance of becoming self reliant.
i like socializing with people and this helps me get a lot of clients.I also believe that a customer will only buy a satisfaction but not a thing.

My Business

I offer computer services,computer classes ,photography,computer maintenance and mpesa services in my shop. On top of this I am putting up an IT Centre( information technology centre) and Resource centre.
as at now we dont have an IT .centre or Resource centre within and most people struggle to get information.
i decided to offer the services because personally that is my profession and the place am locating it there are no such services.

.Typical costs and revenue
currently I make up to ($25) per day
Expenses are as follows :
-Electricity per day =$1
-Food =$3
-Rent =&2
-clothing = $1
-Maintenance =$3
-Salaries =$4
-Stock =$4
Total =$18per day
($25-$18) =$7
I save $7 per day (profit)

The profits i make i invest in other income generating activities .I also reinvest in the same business by purchasing more powerful machines and computer accessories.

Loan Proposal

WHAT I WILL PURCHASE
1. 5 computers @ $130 each =$650
I will be able to accommodate more people within a particular time and hence more income. The community will benefit much because they will be able to serve any time without waiting others to finish. For those doing research or searching for employment through the internet they will easily find it.
I will also avail resource materials like the constitution, Daily Newspaper so that people get informed of daily events and opportunities available for them.

    Great lenders i thank you so much for the loan you offered to me. I bought A3 printer and it has really helped me print a wide range of documents including: wedding cards,fliers,brochures ,business cards and many more. This has seen me attend many customers at a short period of time therefore making a lot of profit that enabled me clear my loan very fast.
    I was able to make a profit of $7 a day and out of the profit have been able to buy more computers because am planning to open another branch.

    I purchased A3 printer which has really seen me grow financially.Currently am able to print all types of documents for churches ,schools ,colleges and many events hence making alot of profit.
    The increased profit have started plans of opening another branch by buying more computers and also securing the room where i will run the branch.
    My family is doing well, my first son just graduated to class one
    Many thanks to my lenders and zidisha team for trusting me.
