My Business

I am an entrepreneur operating a transport business by motorcycle commonly known as bodaboda,after buying my motorcycle,I joined the world of business cycle and I am so happy about it.
In this business it entails a lot of transparency as most of my customers have confidence with me and they don’t need to move from their homes and places of work to get what they want from our centre ,they just call me and have me deliver the goods to them and as I deliver the goods I get a customer enroute to where am delivering the goods which means I get money twice on the same route.
This services has made me to be popular to so many people around this place. I also offer private transportation to my customers such as taking their children to school and picking them in the evening after school time.This business is so convenient and affordable to many especially here in Gwa-kiongo.
Community in this area prefer to use motorcycle to deliver their farm produce to the market place because is convenient and on timeline as most goods are perishable,.The motorcycle is a bit cheaper as the prices are lower .
My customers prefer me and my business so much because I do handle them with a lot of care through out our journey.I have installed my motorcycle with a radio system to entertain my customers .This business is so profitable because the money I make on average is 29 USD per day,this translates to 882 USD per month,out of this money I pay for House rent 47 USD Water & Electricity 83 USD,school fees for my two sisters in secondary school 352 USD ,and I am left with 398 USD as my profit .
For the loan that Zidisha Team is going to offer to my business i am going to Top-up to my savings and buy another motorcycle and employ a person to operate it, and also increase my income and also I will increase my savings.
It is my humble request that my application will be considered,Thank you all.
