    I will use the loan to buy exercise books, pens, pencils, writing pads , tissue, erasers, sharpeners since this are the things needed most now when children are going back to school. This loan will help improve my busi ess and get more customers not only for the cosmetic and hair products that i sell. Thank you so much lenders you have made it easier for me to grow, control and manage my business without cash stress.

    Hi lenders first thank you so much for the past good relationship and assistance you have given me.The previous loan i used it to buy some little more stock though not as much but at least it helped in maintaining my customers and keeping up the competition with the rising number of competitors since many have opened cosmetic shops due to the long holidays.i can say my earnings has increased since i have come up with my unique price of my products one which would attract new and maintain the customer.the earnings i have been getting more of it has been invested back to the business some to buy some reading materials for my children in addition to other children upkeep activities,pay the rent and i have managed to save alittle though not as much.i have been able to inspire my daughter in her new found interests in modelling ohh if you just see her she is very brave and she was named miss ym memorial school where they both go to school im very proud of her i hope i will continue seeing her through but i know she will go far,that for me as a mother is a big achievement.Since the holidays are here they have gone to stay with their grandparents who are really spoiling them they really love it there because they have a large playground and also to know their roots we will be together to celebrate this years chrismas holidays i thank God.
