About Me

I am 21 years old and a Kenyan citizen. I come from Kisii county. Currently, I am staying at Kisii town. I am a single mother. I am blessed with a baby boy who is now one and half years old. In my family, I am the first born in a family of six. My parents are business people. My father owns a shop and my mother owns a boutique. It is through them that I also ventured into business. I also own a small boutique at Kisii town outside Uhuru Plaza. I was influenced by my fellow business man (Newton Nyakundi) to also apply for a loan from your organization. He has tried it and he has expanded his business.

My Business

I sell clothes and flowers in my small boutique at Kisii town. I started with very little capital which I was given by my father. I have expanded more than when I started. I have great dreams of seeing my business grow.
I sell clothes because I felt clothes are basic, hence one can't miss customers. I decided to situate my business near banks. This has boosted my business since my customers may do impulse buying.
Actually, I get normal profits. Since I have many competitors, I am forced to adjust my prices in order to maintain customers. For trustworthy customers and regular customers, I can sell them items on credit. This has boosted my relationship with my customers.
I currently use the profits to expand my business since my kid has not joined school yet.

Loan Proposal

I would like to add stock (clothes and flowers). My stock decreased abnormally since I spent my business money to pay a hospital bill for my son. It has given me a hard time to go back to my financial position. Now I wish to request the loan to boost my business. Right now, I don't have the variety of stock that can attract customers. Wide variety attracts customers to admire the stock and they may end up doing impulse buying.
