I am 24 yrs of age and a married lady with one handsome baby boy who is 2 yrs old. I finished college last year where i was studying Entrepreneurship and marketing. This instill confidence in me that i can manage and start my own business which i started early this year. My business solely deal with selling of carpets, mitumba and designer clothes. I collect my clothes in Nairobi where i have my trusted supplies whenever i run short of stocks.For the last 6 months my business have been picking and am able to support my family in daily household needs and too saving for my kid. business expansion have been a challenge to my business because i have register more customers and many need my products in large quantities because i am selling them at more favorable prices. It is my hope that in future will be supplying my products to other areas whom they cant make to my place due to geographical constrain and long distance.
My business solely deals with boutique and i started early this year with a minimum capital of ksh30000 and used to supply local customers. I make the profit upto ksh 10000 per month but during festive seasons i make about ksh 15000 per month amidst high and punitive competition from other supplies. What have kept me in the market is my relations to the customers and how i deal with them by responding to their needs more friendly. My promise to them is that in near future i will expand and able to meet them in their place of work but this remain a big challenge because going and expanding to this place need more cash.
At first i thank all the zidisha fraternity for accepting my application to join you. I will buy more clothes to customers worth ksh8000 and increase the order from my supplies. Currently i am planning to place an order as soon as i receive the loan. I will be much grateful if you will fund me. I promise to repay all the loans in full and in time.
