About Me
My name is Alex Masumbuko. I was born in Kitui County of Eastern region of Kenya. I was born in a family of farmers where my parents practised small scale farming. I spent my childhood years assisting my parents with their day to day chores.
I went to local schools where I studied up to secondary school but I could not proceed with my education since my parents were unable to afford college fees. I then decided to move to Mombasa in search of a job. I did not secure a job as expected and I started hawking small wares from door to door.
I made savings which enabled me to open a small electrical shop which I am running to date.
I am married with one child who is 2 years old. I am a committed member of my church where I am involved in many group activities.
My Business
My business deals with sale of electrical items such as wiring cables, wall sockets, bulbs etc. I am a retailer and I source my merchandise from wholesalers. I normally sell my items to contractors and technicians who do electrical work.
I decided to start this business due to the rapid expansion of Mombasa city where many new buildings are coming up and there is a big demand for electrical items. This is the main reason why I started this business since I wanted to get a market share of the boom.
I make a profit of about $380 which I use to support my family and also for business expansion.
Loan Proposal
If given this loan, I will use it to buy a box of wall sockets. I have decided to buy these since I have orders for the same from a number of contractors. This will cost me $150 and money from this loan and my own savings will make it possible.
The sockets are the fastest moving items in my shop and I am sure I will manage to sell them very fast and recover the money.
Thank you and I am looking forward to your funding.
