About Me

I grew up in a town called Eldoret where by i took my primary studies then after my final studies of primary education in the 2006 i joined my secondary education from year 2007 to year 2010 after migrating from Eldoret to Gilgil with my parents.I was active in football and gymnastic activities but due to luck of sponsorship and money i decided to be a businessman and that's when my life started here in Gilgil in the year 2011 as a salesman in a small shop where i sold clothes and since then i have had a wonderful and a bit of hardship while working due to the clothes i sold mattered with time because the business was doing well at the end of the month and at the beginning of the month but as time went by i coupe up with the hardship and decided to change the business so i took another step to buy myself a motorbike since according to my research the transportation business was doing well in this town. After 2 years in the transportation business i managed to save some cash and went back to school for a course that dealt with hardware and software repair of phones of which after the studies am now dealing with phone repair. In future my dream is to become someone great with great goals and as a christian i believe God will bless the work of my hands.

My Business

In my business that am running know i do serve my customers with spear parts depending with the type of phone they have and this spear parts really come in handy due to i reduce the hard chances of traveling to the big city in search of replicable spear parts of their mobile phones. The reason i decided to start this business is due to when i was operating as a motorbike operator i did heard people asking for anyone who can repair mobile phone and that idea stuck in my mind and that's when i went back to school. Now in this business some spear parts are expensive and that's why i decided to join you to lend me a hand in getting then. There are no much challenges because the minute i apply all i was taught in school, the work grows and customers hold tight to me cause of the repair knowledge. The profit i gain in this business i use it to purchase spear parts that i don't have and i do save some for further studies and a little for some minor projects that will help me in future.

Loan Proposal

Expanding my business by buying goods needed to run it which would improve the rate of getting as many customers as possible within short period of time and by making me learn a bit of knowledge from the possible bought items for my business.
