My Business

I have a business of selling paraffin which is situated at Karunga Centre I buy the paraffin in whole sale and I sell it in small quantity in retail to the people around area. I get my paraffin at place called Maili Sita in a petrol station where they sell at a good price of 75/= per liter in return I sell 85/= per liter that is a profit of 10/= per liter. I sell 40 liters per day making a profit of 400/= per day so per month is about 12,000/= so annually I get about 144000/=. I use the amount to cater for my family help my parent and also use to continue the business. I would like upgrade my business I would like to buy a pump in stead of using the jerry cans to reduce the risk and also reduce the loss. In future I would like to extend my business by including the sell of petrol diesel, oil and cooking gas.
