My Business
My business is timber business my customers are mainly schools and small hotels or restaurants who use timber or firewood for fuel I normally get my timber from the forest I come to sell in ayard where I get clients who come to purchase some for building others for firewood more st of my customers are for fuel my main costs ate transport I pay the forest department levy fee I pay the rent for the yard 50 dol
ars per month I pay one casual worker who helps me in sorting and selling and reloading from the lorry .my net profits are 400 dollars per month my main challenge is during rain season traveling to the forest is difficult due to the mud my profits are used to pay fees for my kids pay rent medical care home developments .most of my customers who have hotels prefer my services because I deliver to them the fire wood on time I also give them dry wood at good prices .
Loan Proposal
I will buy firewood for sale at 15dollars this will give me a profit of 15dollars that will help me to get to pay some fee for my child who is in college the fee balance is 20dollats at least it will short my business to grow by giving me a profit increase of 15%
