My Business

I sell meat,boil meat ,choma meat and soup to my customers.since most people in my area like meat for the benefit of their health this business have been of more useful since i serve them with quality meat.I chose this business due to the high demand from people who like meat.I spend $50 to $85 weekly to buy meat from bama market since I do not slaughter myself of which it returns me a good profit of over 40% that I use to expand my business,home improvement, pay school fees for my child and sister,rent and bills.Am looking forward towards your support to grow up my business to the next level ,thank you.

    I wish lower my loan weekly payment from KSH 3300 to 2000. this is due to low turn out currently my business is experiencing,
    less than a month Kenya will held general election and people have started going back to their respective counties.
    This could be the reason we are recoding low turn out.
    Thanks
