I am an economist by training and very passionate about business. I run my own business called Bookwidge Partners.
I am an information technology practitioner (I do websites, I also repair laptop and desktop computers, printers, tabs, networking and Apple Macintosh; and printing). I am also doing taxation at post graduate level and advise on tax issues.
With new financing models, I believe I will be able to grow myself out of the typical banking model that's so rigid, so that I can be competitive at what I do. Zidisha offers me that opportunity.
I have an ongoing beauty/cosmetics business that I started with a first loan from Zidisha and I want to rebuild my profile so that I can get new financing opportunity from Zidisha. I want to build on that goodwill to run this venture into the same profitability.
I am emerging from the pandemic with fresh ideas to build an online presence and take advantage of work tax matters. I want to establish an office as opposed to working from client premises.
When we market we need a safe place to work from. Most of the time when I market our business clients want to know where I work from - I can't tell them I work from home they will think I'm lazy. SO we want to have a central place where we all can work from.
This loan from Zidisha is seed capital to get us started. I will repay and scale up to a point of being our alternative source of capital for our growth.
I would like to venture into the beauty business, for at least 6 months, I will reinvest everything. I have raised 70% of the total I need. I am looking for around 30%. I have also acquired premises for the business.
The loan is my beginning to the goal of getting the maximum amount possible to expand this venture into a multi branch business enterprise. This will create employment to hundreds of young men and women trained as shop attendants, hairdressers, beauticians and so on.
