About Me

I started school at Holy Spirit school and late completed my Senior High at St. James Senior High School. During my school days my parents did not have enough money so i cultivated the habit of saving to enable me buy things that i needed for my self. I stated the shoe business with the small capital i gain from my investment account. Actually I come from a family with business background where everybody have the intention of establish his or her own business. Currently I don't have children yet but I pray that if I ever get married and have children i will always encourage my children to learn and be good entrepreneurs. My hobbies are listen to music and playing basketball.

My Business

My shoes and slippers business is doing good in the market. My intention of starting this business was basically to provide easy shoes and slippers for the youth, for some time now i realize that not only the youth that are purchasing the goods but also the elderly, hence has increase the demand of the products. currently the cost incurring in transportation is high because am not able to purchase the shoes in large quantities from my supplier to enable me meet the demand of customers. I am currently working as a relationship officer in a financial institution so i will use part of my income to pay the loan weekly. The profit from this business is been reinvest in growing my business.

Loan Proposal

This loan will be used for purchasing:
23 pairs of shoes
1 pair cost for men : $11.44
1 pair cost for ladies; $8.81
I expect my profit to go up from 2% to 6% increase if am able to purchase 23 pairs at a time it will help me reduce my transportation cost since i will be able to save additional 3% from sales

    I did not get in touch with him personally but one of his references was able to talk to me but in regard to why he has failed in in his installment plan he was silent on it... Also directed the reference to tell him he can adjust his payment plan

    I went to his house and explained to him that since he is having difficulty, he can reduce the repayment amount and continue paying. He has agreed to do so.

    I used the loan to purchase more easy wear shoes. This has realy help boost business by increasing customers as well as sales. I hope with the current trend I may be able to expand my market base.

  • Vincent    Jun 10, 2016

    The reason for the change in repayment schedule is due to fact that there have been delays in the production of the shoes. The purpose of the loan has turn out to be positive, customers have already ordered for the shoes just waiting for the production to be ready for distribution.
