My Business

As you understand my background i am a Kamba but i stay at Busia-Western kennya.I was working with a clearing and forwarding firm-Bollore Africa Logistics but a time come when the company decided to lay off some employees and i was among the employees who were affected..Thank God we were paid all our dues.the money which i got was my starting capital..i deed research and realized the maize at uganda side are very cheap so i started buying then taking to our place kitui during the dry spells..the biggest challege is the the business is a seasonal business..but as i grow in my biseness,i have identified another big business of importing photocopying papers from China then selling locally...its a business that needs a lot of capital but am determined to do it by 2017.i have big Dreams because i believe in myself and i know God will enable me...Zidisha will take me through my dreams..

Loan Proposal

Currently i have been selling dry maize only and i project to diversify my business and bring variety of cereals into my business.If Zidisha funds me the $51 which i have applied for,i will top up the remaining balance of$29 to make it $80 buy a bag of dry beans,add to my stock where by from this one bag i will make a profit of $25 in a weeks time.Then after i have repaid my first loan i continue adding more and more stock to my stock.
