My Business
BEING VERY NEW IN THIS POLES BUSINESS,I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PREDICT THE TURNOVER,BUT SINCE THE DEMAND OF POWER IS ENORMOUS IN THE COUNTRY AND THE PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE I DONT SEE ANY DANGER IN ENGANGING MYSELF INTO IT.THE ONLY RISK TO THIS BUSINESS IS RAIN.DURING THE RAINY SEASONS ,IT BECOMES HARD FOR THE TRUCKS TO PENETRATE TO THE FARMS.
AS DESCRIBED ABOVE,OVER AND ABOVE THE LOAN ,I AM EMPLOYED AND I ALSO EARN FROM TEA .IT MAKES ME REPAY THE LOAN EFFECTFULY.REFERENCE CAN BE SORT FROM MY EMPLOYER (RIDGEPOLE ENTERPRISES LIMITED,P.O BOX 19573-00100 NAIROBI .CONTACT PERSON MR.JOSEPH T.

popularly known as BODA BODA. The business is quite healthy and therefore expect
a turnover of ksh. 1500 per day.
