About Me

I was born in kiserian in 1985,schooled there in my primary classes to class two,we moved to kamae where i continued with my education to class four.I attended good shepherd academy in Njabini to class 8.i attended Nairobi school for my high school and Kenyatta university there after where I graduated with a bachelor in science lower class.I since was doing casual jobs after i worked in Vision Afrika Sacco gilgil in various capacities but was not satisfied with employment since I had always preferred self employment and also wanted to settle in one town since through out my childhood and youth we had been shifting from one place to another(i have lived in 7 different towns) and that made it hard to have friends and grow my self hence the idea to open up a business where I would settle and improve the town by the quality and the services i would offer .I started my business when still employed in 2012 since i liked technology and knew there was great opportunity in pursuing that.i live in Kenya and our people like communities and that's what I have leveraged in my business since it's a place where the youth can experience different technologies and mingle.am currently single not yet married I think my customers are my kids and they would appreciate if they had all modern technological equipments in there disposal and that's what i aim to accomplish.i like exploring technology in my past time and reading about it.

My Business

my business is called red spot entertainment.currently we just offer gaming services (ps2),photocopying,computer services and sell movies but hope to expand and increase the number of consoles, open up a cyber and a sports viewing center in the near future and later register as a company and venture in more entertainments related businesses. As of now am only operating with three(+ 1thanks to zidisha) consoles but my hall can handle six.am the only one offering such services in my neighbour hood so the demand has been high as shown by my income.in a day i make around Ksh 800($8)minus all the daily expenses,in a month that's around ksh 24,000($240) minus Ksh 3000($30) rent and 2500($25) electricity.I reinvest ksh 5000($50) back to business and am left with ksh 13,500($135).most of this is spend repaying my loans that am almost done with.I am single so I don't use much on myself

Loan Proposal

I intend to increase the number of TVs i have to four to meet the increased demand as business has started picking up.the cost of the flat screens is approximately 150 dollars.i will add the loan to my savings and that will be enough and any other expense.a console is capable of generating Ksh 200 to 300 on its own on a good day and thus more income.i will also be able to have a station for the kids to play simple games rather than the current situation where i have only games for adults that are a bit complicated.and overall be able to repay the loan facilitated to me.
