About Me
My names are John Njau,male, husband and a father of two sons, I live in Njoro,Rift Valley Province, kenya.After I completed form four I started farming Crops like maize, beans and peans.This is where I got my experince of starting a gocery in town.I started a grocery because I wanted to help my younger brothers in schooling and also educate my two sons.Also the revenue that I was getting was not enough to cater for my basic needs.I pay school fess both my sons and my brothers since my parents are not capable.
My Business
I have a business of grocery that is primarily selling of fruits, vegetables, milk and eggs.They have a great demand because people want to eat healthy everyday and improve their healthy lifestyle.Risks that I encounter are;lack of enough space to cater for my customers,high buying price of goods that I buy and sell them.My customers prefer my business to the competition because I listen their needs,am always clean,have curtsey.The business is profitable because I have been doing it for the last four years.Risks that I encounter are; lack of enough space to cater to my customers,lack of enough stoke,lack of refrigerators to keep perishable goods e.g. milk other fruits.Monthly cost is 20,000 and a profit of 10,000.
