My Business
ABOUT OUR BUSINESS, WE DEAL WITH, SOAP STONE SCULPTURES, FABRICS PRINTING, MOLDING, JEWELLERY, AND WOOD CARVINGS. WE ARE MAJORLY EXPERT IN PAINTING ARTS, IE PAINTING ON SOAP STONES SUCH AS BOWLS, CANDLE HOLDERS, FLOWER VASES, CARD HOLDERS ETC. ON PAINTING WE USE IMPORTED PAINTS WHICH IS CALLED ACRYLIC, THIS MAKES OUR WORK ATTRACTIVE TO OUR CUSTOMERS BOTH LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY, THE CHALLENGES WE ARE FACING ARE, TRANSPORTATION, MARKETING, EXPOSURE, AND MANPOWER. ON MARKETING: WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CAPITAL BASE (MONEY) TO STOCK OUR STUFFS, HENCE IT MAKES IT EASY FOR MIDDLE MEN TO COME AND EXPLOIT US, THEY COME AND BUY OUR STUFFS FOR A SMALLER AMOUNT KEEPING US NOT EXPOSED TO THE MARKET. OUR VISION IS TO SELL OUR STUFFS DIRECTLY INTO THE MARKET BOTH LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY, BY DOING THESE WE ALSO ARE PLANNING TO CREATE JOB OPPORTUNITY FOR SCHOOL LEAVERS AND GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THIS.
Loan Proposal
This is how I will use the money, seven thousand shillings I'll use in buying fifty eight pieces 6'' wooden bowls @120, four thousand for paints and brush, three thousand clear vanish and thinner, the remaining three thousand I'll use in buying beads and pieces of bones for decorating bowls. I need more money because the demand is high and I don't have enough funds to satisfy my clients.
