About Me

I completed my primary school level in the year 1993, and in the year 1994 I joined high school but due to lack of school fees I dropped out. March 1994 I traveled to Mombasa, I got a job in a cybercafé as cleaner. Here's where I worked and trained in computers. Due to my good work and experience, one of my client gave me a used photocopier machine and one computer which I started a business: a small bureau.

My Business

First, I operated in a small bureau, in my bureau I did photocopy and typesetting but the competition was high due to many and well equipped bureaus around. The profit that I get from the shop wasvery low, cannot cartered for my life expenses. That's why I was seeking a loan to upgrade my bureau with more computers and stationery.

Recently I switched to another business: Sugarcane Juice. I do crush 50pcs of sugarcane in one day, the business is going very well.

One pc of sugarcane is sold at kshs. 35 at our nearby market (Kongowea).
50pcs = Kshs. 1,750/= and when i sell the juice I get Kshs. 5,000/=.

I employed a small boy whom I pay Kshs. 300/= per day.
It is a good business, my profit can be Kshs 2950!

Loan Proposal

Am requesting this loan for buying a coloured machine (Bizhub C220 - Konica Minolta) for my bureau, the one am using at the moment it is a black cartridge kyocera mita machine, this machine will cost kshs. 100,000/= that is equal to USD 993, because i have a lot of customers and most of them are requesting for quicker machine and this Bizhub can make my work easier because it is a big machine produces both coloured and black copies and also printing pictures in high speed. which per can give me a profit of kshs. 1,500/= per day and it will increase more customer who need quick services.

Dear Lenders,
I switched to another business of Sugarcane Juice, where by the business is doing very well i do crush 50pcs of sugarcane in one day. One pc of sugarcane sold at kshs. 35/= at our near buy market (Kongowea). 50pcs = Kshs. 1,750/= and when i sell the juice i get Kshs. 5,000/=. I employed a small boy whom i pay Kshs. 300/= per day. It is a good business whereby after my sells which is Total Sells Kshs 5,000 minus Kshs. 1,750 for sugarcanes and minus Kshs. 300 for the boy i remain with Kshs 2950/= Profit.

Dear Lenders,
I thank God and your support for making me be a businessman, This sugarcane Juice business is doing very well, though we operate in a open place using big umbrella to cover us for direct sunlight, But the business is paying thats why i want to add another Sugarcane Crusher Machine to extend my business after getting another good place. The machine costs Kshs. 50,000/= which is equivalent to USD 497. The place we buy sugarcane (Kongowea Market ) they reduced price of sugarcane from Kshs. 35/= to Kshs. 30/= because now i take more than 100pcs a day and i can crush 70pcs a day, thats gives me a good profit of Kshs. 7,000/=. i also added daily payment of my boy from Kshs 300/= to Kshs. 350/= plus lunch of Kshs. 50/= that totaling to Kshs. 400/= per day.
