About Me

I am single mother from a family of 6 siblings. I didn't manage to finish my 8_4_4 education system since I was the first born in our family and my parents didn't have enough money to take us all to school. I have worked in a flower farm in our home area in order to provide the essential needs to my siblings since my parents also work in the farm. Through all that, I have managed to save some money to start my own business of a small pub, but I don't have enough stock.

I have three kids. One is going to college and he would love to be a pilot and that's the reason I want to add stock for me to be able to take him to college. I love spending time with my kids and I would do anything for them to have a better life.

My Business

I sell soft drinks within our home area and I started this business because there was no else who had this business. The profit is commendable compared to other businesses in our area. The capital is high but the returns are enough to take care of my family and, with more stock, the revenue will be more and I will manage to take my kid to college.

Loan Proposal

I have successfully paid my 2nd loan and I would like to apply for the 3rd one..I was able to pay my loan well coz the business was good,customers were many..I would like to introduce a small cafe hence the business is growing.. I will also add one person. LOAN BUDGET.
Kitchen items- 150 dollars
Sodas- 100 dollars
Beers-198 dollars
