I am still operating transport business.Currently ,I own one motorbyke and planning to acquire another new motorbyke that will transform my transport business.I am determined to established my business and become the manager of transport business .My dream is to expand my transport business to acquire more cars to acheive my dream of being a millionnaire.
My hobby is networking and this has enable me to get more business opportunities in network marketing as well as sharing ideas about upcoming business ventures.

My Business

As a sole proprietor, I operate a transport business .I am in possession of 1 motorbikes facilitating transport businesses within small town s. Its operating from morning till 8 pm at night.I have managed to employ one person to carry out the transportation.
Currently, I earn 100 dollars per month after deducting monthly expenses.Due to low season and long election period the transport sector has been affected adversely. The transport in small towns has high demand because it's the only profit convenient mode of transportation in rural areas.
Since we have dynamic changes in transport sector their is a need to shift to use the Pro-box car since its now the convinient mode of transport and also more profitable than motorbike . I have managed to saved 2500 dollars.I am looking forward to accumulate the saving and reinvest .Through savings,and loan that I expect from lender I will be able to get 1500 dollars to buy a Toyota Pro-box costing 4000 dollars . This would enable me to increase my income to a higher level of 250 dollars per day .I am really yearning to start my career and grow to be a millionaire.
I also have a plan to diversify my business by venturing into selling gas cylinders as well as gas for cooking.Moreover ,as ambitious entrepreneur and also opening shop for selling second-hnad clothes(mitumba).This business will create more income as plan to venture to other lucrative businesses.
I am anticipating to minimize cost by selling the gas cyliders and second-hand clothes by the nearby shop to avoid rent expenses and minimizing the costs.I also found selling cooking gas within the estate would create a large market for my business since most consumers are within the vicinty.
My plan is assisst my parents in their upkeep as well as reivest more to generate more income.

Loan Proposal

I intend to buy another motorbike at a cost of 900 dollars.I have saved 250 dollars from the income I receive daily transport business. I am requesting a loan of 650 dollars to invest in transport Business.I expect my income to increase to 260 dollars per month.I am confident I would be able to purchase a motorbike and expand my transport business and repay the loan in less than five months.

Total amount required for motorbike 900 dollars

Expected income per month 260 dollars.I believe i will be able to reap from the transport sector through your financial sector. i am longing to receive your feedback.
