About Me

I have been in the business of purchase and sale of electrical and electronics items /gadgets for profit making. It is for the purposes of expanding the business that I have come to zidisha to ask for a helping hand.

My Business

I am in the business of purchase and sale of electrical and electronics items with the motive to make profits. I purchase the items from wholesalers and sell at retail price which includes my profit margins. This has seen the business grow to the point where I am. I started from a very humble background of selling the items across the streets (hawking) and until I had enough to open a retail store.

Loan Proposal

I am going to buy a variety of electrical bulbs- energy savers from a new wholesale shop being launched in Nairobi town and the wholesaler is doing 35% discounts off for all purchases done within the limits of their terms of offer. This is an opportunity I could not let go. The first idea that came in mind was how I could raise as much money as I can, and take this opportunity, as this offer is for a limited time and so it is common sense that I buy as much stocks for sale as I can at that discounted price

    I tried to contact Robinson but my calls went unanswered, I was able to speak one of his references though and she promised to speak with him and remind him to make payments to his loan

    During these difficult times you can't prioritize the small payments that I am making to Zidisha into paying other peoples defaulted loans under the reason that I was involved as a guarantor, it's totally discouraging. Whereas my Zidisha loan amount is still pending I am paying off other people's loans, My loan should be paid off first. Otherwise all of the loans can wait till situations improve.

    The business is closed in the meantime. Covid19 situation has even worsened than before.

    These are the effect of the corona viruses to the Kenyan business climate, we have lost competitive prices and because some of the best electronic and electrical suppliers have stockouts, we hope that this situation improves soon.
