About Me

I am a young hardworking, social and hardworking lady a holder of Diploma in Business Management. I have a strong passion for business and would love to turn to a leading entrepreneur. I have been working in public office as an office administrator in a well established security firm. The experience gathered from my career have given me the acumen on how to deal with the people,enhanced communication and management skills. Currently, I have my own business of which I source for high quality men shirts and sell. I have a large clientele which keep on expanding day by day.

My Business

I purchase shirts weekly from the main market that deals in second hand clothes in Kisumu. I always select the best shirts in good condition. I have good taste that makes most of the men who are my customers love buying from me.Besides, I advice them on the right shirt depending on their personality. I use the marketing skills that I learned in college to market my products adequately.The shirts are locally known as Camera due to the high quality even though, there are second hand.



Currently, I sell an average of 20 shirts in a week. It is important to note that I purchase the shirts and supply on order, this is to ensure that I do not have idle stock that affects my cash flow. From the 20 shirts I purchase weekly at a cost of Kshs.4,000($46) I make a gross profit of 2,000( $23). Thus, I sell each shirt at Ksh, 400(4.6). My need is that I need additional capital so as to be able to purchase more shirts and supply to my expanding clientele. I sell the clothes in a small town a few Kilometers from Kisumu City.

Loan Proposal

I would love to extend my supplies to Kisumu which has a wide market scope, but require a good capital base. With additional Kshs, 12, 986($151) I will be able to supply 60 more shirt to the new market target. I have done my research well and I know it is possible. I will be able to increase my earning three fold and be able to make a gross profit of 6,000($156) weekly and subsequently a net profit of Ksh 9,500($110) after catering for over heads and paying local taxes. I will be able to pay the loan and in due course expand my business and employ jobless youths and lead a comfortable life.

    My business went under to to intense competition as major supplies shifted to retail business. I did not foresee this happening as it is not ethical. This has seriously affected me. However, I am still optimistic that the business will be viable again. I am therefore requesting the lenders to pardon me and allow me to pay much smaller installments that will ensure that I am regular in payments. Thanks

    I delayed with my payments due to some uncertainties, but now I am ready to pay within the remaining time and be on time once again. I hope you will understand since I am committed to pay as per the earlier promise given. I am grateful and remorseful for the inconveniences caused to the lending community and the whole Zidisha family.


    Thank and Best Regards.

    There are a number of clients who are holding my cash thus why I have delayed in making the payments. Most of my clients being that there are paid on monthly basis and at end month can only be able to pay me at the end of the month, hence, I am requesting to reschedule my loan to accommodate this payment plan. Once again sorry for the incontinence caused to the lender and promise to start paying my loan all over again. Thanks
