I went to voi primary school, later joined Darajani secondary school for my `O` level education.After completing my secondary education i started working as a non-skilled casual labour at any construction site i would get an opportunity to work since i didnt have enough capital to continue with my studies.i worked for one years and found another job in kenya neat garment(e.p.z). i saved money so that my dream would come true and i started my own business with my savings.i like socializing and reading
My business entails buying of household product at whole sell to retail prices. I sell home utensils,plastic stands,plastic basins,buckets,chairs,small mattress and school bags.Most people home uses plastic tools eg chairs,basin so there is large number of order for the goods each day.i choose this business due to availability of ready market and easy access of the selling materials and new products from mombasa city also because of the upcoming factories which is enabling many people access the goods.i pay tax, license for the business and also i pay land rent.I use the profit in adding more products, educating my children and helping my parent at home
if i get the loan i will buy mattress for my business and also i will add more plastic chairs to my business which will cost me like $19558.8 which will make a great expand for my business and it will make sure that every customer will not ask me for a good and i lack.it will also increase my business profit.my business profit would rise from 20% to 90%
