About Me

I am ERIC MBATHA WAMBUA ,I am married with Seven children, I only did my form four examination s my highest level of education ,My wife is a house wife ,since to be employed become a problem due to lack of papers, I decided to venture into business, I live with my family at Njoro area in Nakuru county . I live in a rental house where I pay house, water and electricity bill of $ 30 US dollas. I am the bread winner of my family.

I started business in 1989 since my parents were poor there wasn't enough money to continue with my Education but I hard a passion of becoming a businessman by doing so it has greatly assisted not only me but my family at large and my clients. I do sell second hand tyres.

I do pay school fees for my son and daughters but the first one has completed form four, two are in secondary and two in primary school ,The first loan I received it greatly assisted me much I added enough stock to my business which assisted me to pay back my loan and I remained with the business running .By doing so I have been in business though it has take na lot of time to grow as well as to change to another step is just stagnant.

You may have passion of starting or boost your business but you are poor financially, loan can highly boost you to another different level in business .

My Business

My business name is MTT TYRES is Located NJORO NEXT TO SHELL PETROL STATION P. o. box 517-20100 Nakuru, TELEPHONE NUMBER 0710515868.It is sole proprietorship,It was established IN 1989 .
It is licensed under single business permit under the municipal council of Nakuru.

My business deals with selling of Second Hand Vehicle tyres of all sizes.


Most of my customers prefer my business because of the services that are offered and as well the costs are standard depending on goods,quality and quantity products that I have comparing to other competitors and also availability of goods without lack, they need from lower class to higher class ,though there is more competitors it depends on how first I can deliver the services to them as well as quality goods The site where I am located there is no more competitors hence my services to my clients are good,first and reliable all the time,though you can here some complains but not more since there is no perfect person.

My business is profitable for one I do understand very well the business since is the only business I have been doing since19893 ,so I have old clients from major firms,industry and some ministries who orders goods/products from my shop and other services at a larger quantities hence making more profit though some times I don´t meet their needs.

I have a financial risk since I started my business with small capital which make me to grow very slowly and loose some clients by not meeting all their needs,Technology, especially those characterised as “paradigm shifts” or “disruptive” have long and costly acceptance cycles, they have run into unpredictable performance eg manufacturing problem(poor quality of products ) also operation risk,Since some of my clients call for door delivery which comes very difficult for me to deliver my goods to them in time. Also the major challenge that I face is from the clients since some tend to take goods on credit and they delay to pay which hinder me from expanding.

I do meet my smoothly needs in terms of paying house rent,labour and other small work expenses,If I get $ 1765 US dollars I will add more stock and buy variety of goods as to deliver a first quality goods as my clients needs as well adding value to my work. My business will grow first to a different level.

Loan Proposal

As soon as I receive the money i will go to where I know tyres are cheap the (second hand) and buy tubes and nosals and some second hand lyres that are in demand currently.finally I will buy small surpoting materials for puncture repair of tyres among other services.
Thank you Zidisha for the surport that you have given me,hope it will be of a great change in my business.
