My Business

once again lovely zidisha team i come to you and request for a loan of my fish business and i would like to ask for a loan of 200,000/-.due to the rise of many eaters of tilapia in kisumunthe market has increased so fast thus making the fish to be also expensive for us who take them from the lake side.therefore i will use 150,000/- to buy a fish stock both tilapia worth 50,000/-,cat fish,50,000/-,nile perch 50,000/- because i want to increase my supply even to outside markets apart from kisumu.then the 50,000/- i will use to buy preservative such as small boxes that i put ice to store the fish so that it does not spoil before it reaches the market.this business i inherited from my mother and when she left me to do it she left me with a stock of 20,000/- and from there i sat down and strategise my business plan and i have been able to make a constant profit of of 50,000/- every month and removing all the expenses i i deposit to my bank account untouchable profit of 20,000/- cash.therefore with your loan zidisha i believe i am capable of paying the loan on time because i also work to some hotels every weekend just to give them tips about good health and hygien and they do pay my service 7000/- every month therefore with your loan zidisha i believe to fly high and achive my goals.thank you so much zidisha.

    Dear Lenders,
    I have contacted Lorine and she told me that she was unable to post her previous payments because her daughter fell sick and spent much of the money on medication. I have therefore advised her to reschedule the loan and I am waiting for her to do that. I will keep a close follow up and will update you.
    Thank you.
