About Me

I have been a full time salesman with a agrochemical suppliers firm for almost 20 years. I have established a retail shop. this shop deals with retailing of agrochemicals. i serve farmers around my local area and wish to expand to a bigger market segment. I speak in Swahili, English and Kimeru (a local Kenyan tribe).

I thank God for the success he has given me in terms of getting regular customers . It is my aim to also come out as a successful agro chemical supplier both locally and internationally.

My Business

I am in the agro chemicals business where I am retailing the chemicals to the local farmers and agricultural societies. I earn regular income earner from my sales representative employment. . If given the loan, I will use it to purchase more stock to my retail shop so that I can move to the next phase. I strongly believe that this assistance will help me to expand my retail shop business and reach more farmers. I will keep you informed on the progress of my venture.

Loan Proposal

This loan will be used to improve my productivity and products range. I will also expand my clients network to secure more sales and hence improved monthly turnover.
The previous loan helped me to meet an outstanding order and now I am well on time in my deliveries, however, the new loan will enhance this status and add more customers to my list of clients
I look forward to a favourable response.

    Thank you lenders for coming in handy at my time of need. I will buy the items I indicated at my time of my application and hope this time round I will meet all my obligation on time.
    I believe this is the most convenient way of helping the less privileged to make their drams come true.
    Thanks lenders and the entire Zidisha team.

    To all Zidisha members
    First is to thank you for your patience during my time of hardships. I real am very pleased that I have managed to clear my loan at last. I must apologize to all my lenders, my mentor and those I had given as my contacts who I have inconvenienced by my delay in settling the loan. Long live Zidisha.

    Hi Sebastian,
    I notice that your repayments have fallen behind schedule.
    Could I suggest that you reschedule your repayments?
    Keeping your On Time Repayment Score as high as possible will have a large impact on your ability to take further loans.
    All the best

      Sebastian, Is there some reason why you have not updated your repayment schedule?

  • Sebastian    Apr 7, 2015

    There was an error when I posted the loan. I did not mean to repay the installments of KES100 as it turned out. However I will be comfortable repaying as per the new installment schedule.

    Dear Lenders
    Thank you for lending me the amount requested within a very short time. the money was very useful in that I had to make the required repairs to my car which I am now using to make my deliveries much faster and easier.
    I am looking forward to qualify for a bigger loan to make further improvement to my business.
    Thank you lenders and the entire Zidisha team.

    Hi Sebastian,

    Dear Michael
    I did not choose to repay at the rate of KES100.00 per week. Infact I chose to repay at the rate of KES500.00 per week payable every Saturday. I do not know how it came to KES100.00. Please have the weekly repayment amount to read KES500.00 payable every Saturday of the week.
    Thanks Zidisha Team

      Hi Sebastian,
      I think the easiest way is to change how much you would like to pay is to make a "Repayment Schedule Change".
      Although I am not sure how it is actually done, I believe you can just change the frequency and amounts of your payments online.
      If its not that easy to understand, perhaps talk to your VM or email [email protected].
      Regards
      Michael

    Hello Michael
    Thank you for your concern. I am much better now except for the aftermath of an illness. Am recovering faster than I expected and am up and about again trying to regain the lost time.
    I am disappointed I could not meet the 90% repayment level to increase my borrowing capacity to a higher figure to boost the business farther. Otherwise I am great to all.

      Hi Sebastian,
      Glad to hear that you are feeling better.
      It must be disappointing to not be able to increase your loan size.
      I had a look at your numbers, to raise your On time Repayment Score to 90% would require 33 more on-time payments.
      That is a bit shorter than the ten month term that you have chosen.
      I know its not always easy to stick to a plan, especially when illness strikes, but if you can keep the payment schedules you will reach your goal.
      All the best
      Michael

    Thanks my mentor for vouching for me. I surely did not mean to be late with my payment but was unwell for a week. I'll strive to be on time in future. Thanks Zidisha Team for your patience.
