About Me

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.

My Business

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.

Loan Proposal

Looking forward to a new venture in the provision of integrated services in a business center where we will be doing document processing, photocopying, internet and data analysis. Life after our last elections has taught us to be diverse, and I intent to just do that.

I am very excited about this new venture that is being built on lessons learned from my initial beauty business and hope to give positive feedback in due course. I will repay the loan from my other income sources. I want to expand my Zidisha limit to grow my new venture in the near term and in the long term.

I expect to grow my limit as business expands
