About Me
My names are Michael Kangethe Kariuki I am 30 years old from Kenya. I am married and blessed with one child who is in class 1. I live in Makongeni estate approximately 5 km east of Thika town. After completing high school I started working as a casual laborer at building and constructions. During my working I managed to save in order to get capital to start a small business. After a couple of years of saving I managed to start a small business of buying and selling mobile phones accessories, the business I am doing up to date. I have always wanted to expand my business but I have been experiencing limitations due to lack of enough capital, therefore if I can find capital from other sources I can realize my business dream.
My Business
From my humble savings I managed to start a small business of buying and selling mobile phones accessories in Thika town. I source these products in bulk from suppliers at a lower price which enables me sell them at a good price and hence increase my sale and profit margin too. I have used the small profit I get from the sales to extend a mobile money transfer service (Mpesa Agent), buying mobile phones and airtime which has boosted my business and have drawn many customers. I will appreciate you, if you can assist me by lending me money so that I can expand my business further and also employ another person.
