My Business

My business is tailoring,this business involves running of tailoring machines for commercial purposes.In this business normally experts make clothes out of clothes materials known as material-fabric.In tailoring shop I repair and make clothes sometimes for sell and sometimes for service charge only.There is demand for either the clothes(goods) or the service because in the end of the day people have to wear attires to attend to various functions daily.My customers prefer to my business because I'm a trained tailor and I make all sorts of clothes in their appropriate fashions at a reasonable prices.The business is profitable because one material-fabric can cost me ksh:10000/= and after making the clothes can give me ksh:40000/= and this is in a duration of one month only.Risks that face my business are lack of enough money and security.My typical monthly income ksh:40000/= and my monthly expenditure is ksh:25000/= therefore my profit is ksh:15000/= of which can repay Zidisha loan without any problem.

Loan Proposal

i will use 30% of the loan to buy a new machine as i got more students who i train and also to increase the output of new uniforms which is in high demand as the season of new uniforms is at peak now and the introduction of new schools in mtwapa makes it good for tailors like us. 40% will be used to purchase materials for new uniforms so as to avail the materials to customers on need. the rest will be used to to do minor repair and maintenance of the existing sewing machines in my workshop
