Loan Proposal

I will use the Zidisha loan to do online freelancing jobs. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, my way of doing business has changed and i now spend most of my time on the internet. I will use the loan to pay for home WIFI, mobile phone airtime as well as electricity. This are my current tools of trade while working from home. The internet will also enable me do online meetings as well as research. There is currently minimal movement hence less cost attached to travelling or any other outdoor business activities. Your support for my business will be highly appreciated.

Income Source

I am currently venturing into online business as my business is in the service industry, as a result, the corona virus outbreak does not affect me entirely. However, i have new business opportunities which are pending during this time of an outbreak and they will enable me cater for my bills including this loan. Additionally i'm still retaining my employment which requires me to work from home, so i'll still retain my salary even if there won't be much work to do. In the event that i'm unable to pay with my business' income, i will pay using my monthly salary.
