Build a shed to house my motorbike repair service

Entrepreneur

About Me

My name is Stephen Nganga. I was born in 1983 in a place called Uplands in Central Kenya. I later went to primary school and later secondary school in the same area.

After school, I relocated to Mombasa where joined a training college in year 2000 and I was trained as an auto-mechanic. I worked as an apprentice after clearing the course and later started my own garage after acquiring the necessary skills. My garage is in outskirts of Mombasa town in a place called King’orani.
I am also an active member of my church – PCEA Kisauni where I serve as a deacon. I am also the chairman of Men’s Fellowship Group with a membership of 180 faithful. I am a pianist in the same church.

My Business

I run a motor garage in Mombasa town. I started this business 10 years ago. I service and repair all Japanese models like Toyota, Nissan, Mitshubishi etc. My work ranges from minor repairs like mirror replacements to more complex ones like engine overhaul and bodywork.
With time I have built my reputation among the motorist in this region and I am always assured of continuous flow of clients. In spite of my relative success, I do run into some challenges the foremost one being lack of capital to stock vehicle spare parts. Given credit, I can build my stock so that I don’t have to buy the parts when the client arrives for service or repair. This will save time and increase my profitability since I will be able to get discount when I buy the parts in bulk.
I make a net profit of about $300 per month which I use to support my young family.

Loan Proposal

I am a motor vehicle technician and this is a job I Iove to do. I run a small garage in town with very basic structures - in fact it is an open air place and this makes my work very difficult to do during the rainy season.

If funded, I will spend this money to build a shed so as protect me and my workers from the elements. The total cost of the shed will be $200 and I will use the rest to fix shelves where I can display the items which I put on sale.

I am counting on you lenders once more to fund this loan. Thank you.
